I figured out that the first (direct rendering) test reveals a count of
2 instead of 3 and thus fails, but the indirect test fails for another
reason. When I run

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 glxinfo

the output is as follows.

name of display: :0.0
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
  Major opcode of failed request:  143 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  16
  Current serial number in output stream:  16


** Description changed:

  I am running hardy alpha3 on a Dell inspriron 1501 laptop that has a
  radeon Xpress 1150 graphics card [RS485]. Now that the fglrx driver
  supports compositing I installed it and tried to enable visual effects,
  which failed. It turns out that it cannot find the
  'GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap' in 'glxinfo ' in the 'GLX extensions'
  section (it is there in server and client glx extensions).
  
- When using the 'radeon' driver  GLX_EXT_texture_from _pixmap is found
- but then I get another error (opening another report since it concerns
- another package)
- 
  I guess it should be capable of doing visual effects, so I am reporting
  this as a bug (if someone knows otherwise, please let me know)
