It works :-)

However, only if I login as a user, launch X, lauch a console and do an 'su' !!!

Attempts to do any 3D stuff without doing this (even root) is met with :
libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

How can I get permission to do the operation ?

Thanks,
Owen

Thanks for that. I am a little less confused ! I still think GATOS is a type of French cake :-)

However, I noticed from you web site it says :

Cards earlier than the ATI 3D Rage Pro don't have a triangle setup engine and are not supported. This includes ... and ATI 3D Rage Mobility

?!?! what does this mean ?

Note that ATI 3D Rage Mobility is listed under _supported_ (there are two
lists in that paragraph, the first are unsupported and the second are
supported). I should make this more clear on the site, but there are
cards called "3D Rage XXX", _without_ "Pro" in the name that have only
very limited 3D capabilities -- i.e. texturing, but no triangle setup. AFAIK, all "Rage Mobility" cards using mach64 are of the "Pro" variety and have triangle setup.

How am I going to paly Tux Racer if they are not supported :-(

Well, time for the big one ! Download, build and install - I may need some help here :-) pretty please !

Sure, I can help.  Also, have a look at the docs and FAQs on
dri.sourceforge.net.
