There's your problem right there - you're using version 8.23 of the kernel module, and 8.24 of the xorg utils. The drivers detect the version conflict, and won't allow direct rendering. You can verify this by looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or (possibly) running LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo but I'm 99% positive that's your problem. With the release of the -beyond kernel, I don't think iphitus is updating the -archck stuff anymore; you might need to build your own 8.24 kernel module for -archck; I did. It's really simple, if you know how to make packages - check the wiki here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Radeon_%26_Kernel_2.6 for custom kernel compilation method, using the existing PKGBUILDs. Please note, the wiki references the archck packages and ATI drivers 8.23 - this is outdated as I haven't had the time to update it yet, but for the mostpart it's accurate. -- Cerebral _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
