Ok, that might have been caused by me modprobing the radeon module.
So, I just stopped X, unloaded the radeon module, and then restarted X
and direct rendering is still not working.
However, while there is an "fglrx" entry in /etc/modules,
"lsmod | grep fgl" tells me its not installed. There is also now fglrx
module in /lib/modules/2.6.17-27-686/ but there is a file named
/lib/modules/fglrx/fglrx.ko, but modprobe doesn't seen to find it and
attempting to insmod it results in:
insmod /lib/modules/fglrx/fglrx.ko
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/fglrx/fglrx.ko':
-1 Invalid module format
So, the questions I have are:
0) Should there be a fglrx module in /lib/modules/2.6.17-27-686/ ?
1) Should modprobe and/or /etc/modules be looking in /lib/modules/ ?
2) Should I have a package named linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-686?
