After looking at the output from `LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo` and sniffing around the place I noticed that I ( as a normal user ) didn't have permission to cd into the /dev/dri directory. I did a 'chmod 755 /dev/dri' and now everything works.
I'm using XFree86-4.3.0 compiled with the latest Gentoo ebuild. Everything works fine at home ( with my Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO ), but here at work DRI only works as root. As a normal user, glxinfo gives me:
name of display: :0.0
libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted

(BTW, I hope you're aware that mode 660 and a dedicated group would be preferable from a security standpoint)
Weird... were the DRM and radeon_dri.so built with the same or at least a similar compiler? If so, do
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
or
strace glxinfo
provide more information?
Yeah I know things could be more secure. But I'm the only user here who has a clue about Linux, and we're behind a firewall, and ... well ... I'm just happy that DRI is now working :)
Thanks again for the help!
