A while back I offered to give away a couple of distro's that I had decided, 
not to use, in retrospect it probably seemed a bit suspicious, but it was 
done out of naievity and with good intentions I was thinking there might be a 
club address or P.O.Box etc. That aside I'm hoping you might be able to help 
me get OpenGL working propeperly on my Gentoo amd64 installation with 
intergrated ati radeon x200 graphics, X starts but direct rendering wont, 
when I look at dmesg I get this line:
 
[fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR* Unable to the open some already present 
DRM kernel module!

(I think I recompiled the kernel correctly)Having experience limited to a few 
months, I tryed adding the fglrx module to modules.autoload.d but I'm having 
difficulties getting it to load at boot up, this is the output I get from 
fglrxinfo which only works when I eselect opengl set ati: 
fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

and 
fglrxinfo | grep direct
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
 
no mention of direct rendering.Next is potentially a silly question but I'll 
ask it anyway, after a fresh gentoo installation I had problems getting 
dhcpcd to connect to xtra, so I changed my localhost name back to one of the 
two previous ones I used in the previous installation, and either one works, 
it connects no problem, is this strange behaviour?

Thanks very much for any help.
