I'm trying to have accelerated 3d graphics on my laptop (ASUS LC3842, 1 year old), provided with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics card. I think it should be posible in some way, as with RedHat7.3 I had before it was working fine. I followed the following procedure to install the drivers:
I added
deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-mach64/ ./ deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-mach64-sid/ ./ deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-mach64-unstable/ ./
to my /etc/apt/sources.list and I executed 'apt-get install xserver-xfree86-dri-mach64 xlibmesa-gl1-dri-mach64 drm-mach64-module-src'. I compiled the kernel DRM module for ati: unpacked drm-mach64.tar.gz into /usr/src/modules and executed 'make-kpkg modules_image' in the kernel source directory and then I installed the package created. I loaded glx and dri modules in my XF86Config-4, and I set the option "AgpSize" "64" in the Device section. I have agpgart loaded as a module.
Having done so, I restarted X.
Now, glxgears does not work (before doing so I had an average of 260fps) and that's what I got from glxinfo:

I can't sort out which is the problem. Can anyone help me? Cheers,
Vito
