I've been trying for awhile now to get the accelerated opengl renderer
working on my radeon xpress 200M card(which is supposedly an rv370 or
rs4000 according to this wiki page:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon). I've been following this
guide alot: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon
I know it is important to change this string from glxinfo:
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
to this:
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 (RV280 5C61) 20090101
x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL DRI2
But I'm not sure how.
This error in my xorg.log seems to be the key:
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)

(etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc)
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM
[dri] Disabling DRI.
Well the directory /dev/dri/ is empty, so there you go.
I have these package versions:
xorg-server 1.7.6
mesa 7.8
libdrm 2.4.19
xf86-video-ati 6.12.192
xorg-drivers 1.7
I have drm set in my kernel too:
t...@o_0 ~ $ zgrep DRM /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
# CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I830 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I915 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_I2C_CH7006 is not set
and this dmesg output appears to indicate that its working ok:
[ 53.428828] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 53.642115] [drm] radeon defaulting to kernel modesetting.
[ 53.642122] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
But glxgears only gets about 19 fps. Here is what glxinfo | grep OpenGL reports:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.8
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
And might as well post my xorg.conf as well:

If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Would posting to the xorg
or radeon mailing lists be good places for help as well?
