 Hi all,

 on with my ati-drivers 8.452.1 woes!

 This time, glxgears  fgl_glxgears will segfault as root.  FPS is bad
 for GL stuff.  When I run glxgears in sudo, it works!

 I've checked groups and permissions on /dev/dri/card0 and whatever I can
 think of, but nothing jumps out at me.  Google is not much help either.

 any hints?  thanks!

I had to unmask the x11-base/x11-drm-20070314 to get dri to work on my system 
(but I have an old ATI laptop card).  The stable version would not even 
compile.  You may have to try them all out in case there is a version that 
works.

If You still having that problem try to uncomment last 3 lines in Your 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. I think that is a problem with DRM/DRI rights to 
other users. If You cannot compile stable release try to make:


emerge --sync  emerge -u system

and then try to compile stable release. Also put Your USE flags and 
CFLAGS into answer to this email.
You should also try to recompile (by emerge) MESA, because glxgears may 
not work as some mesa issues.

 hi,

 Is your user in video group ?

yes
 
 Did you add dri section in Xorg.conf ? with mod 666 ?

yes

 It's the lastest version ? Try update with portage.keyword ... perhaps
 this version sucks ?

yes, I'm sure this version sucks!  It is the latest version to date.

thanks, any more ideas?

I am running unstable anyway.  remerging x11-drm didn't help...  I
haven't tried other version yet.

thanks
