I had this problem when I was running Gentoo. I had to make sure I had this in my XF86Config-4 file:
Section "DRI" Mode 066 EndSection
Once I did that, then glxgears ran great as any user. Double-check that, but I'm pretty sure that's correct syntax.

Thanks Chris,
Adding that to my config-4 "sort of" fixed my problem. Now when I run glxinfo as a regular user it says direct rendering is enabled. Unfortunately my problem is now this:
When I run any app that uses 3d accelleration (ie. glxgears) X locks up completely. Anyone have experience with such a phenomenon? Where might i look to find some info about what is happening?

I am running mandrake 9.2 with Xfree 4.4 rpms from cooker. Works great but... running glxgears as anyone but root shows direct rendering is disabled. Running it as root shows it as enabled. Checking /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows:
(II) SIS(0): Direct rendering enabled.
This is using the sis630 agp onboard video.
Suggestions for making 3d acceleration work?
