I've been following Mandrake Cooker pretty closely for about three
months now, and updating daily with the new binaries as they become
available. I'd been using the XFree 4.2.0-3 binaries for some time, and
finally decided to upgrade to the -10 packages. Since that upgrade, 3D
acceleration with my Radeon card has vanished.
This is the output from glxinfo (note the "OpenGL renderer string: Mesa
GLX Indirect"):

I've done my best to debug this problem on my own, and I'm coming up
blank. The XFree upgrade was performed completely separate from all
other packages, and 3D acceleration was working perfectly just before I
upgraded and rebooted.
Unfortunately, I got rid of the XFree 4.2.0-3 packages before I
upgraded, and now I can't revert the changes. If someone could help me
with this one, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!
