DRI doesn't work without agpgart with Radeons on x86 yet. The code is there to use PCI GART, but it's disabled in source because there are issues. Have you selected the agpgart support for your laptop's AGP chipset as well? If yes, the driver doesn't seem to recognize it. > -I tried lowering the resolution to 1024x768 (instead of the default > 1400x1050), as suggested in a similar thread. It made no difference at > all.

PS: XFree86 4.1.0 proper wouldn't even support your Radeon chip. I don't know if Red Hat's patch for this also covers DRI. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
