Direct Rendering radeon 9200se rv280-5964 chipset SuSE 11.2

Hello all,

Am trying to use this card with the radeon o-s driver.

On startup, the Xorg log says that the drm-dri chain is installed ok and that direct rendering is enabled. However, glxgears and friends say that it is disabled.

Can’t see anything in the logs to show that dri(?) was unloaded or anything.

Anybody has seen this and what’s the cause?

Cheers - AK

Simplistic idea here: Are desktop effects enabled and working ok?

What does this command show?

glxinfo | grep direct

Hi deano,

glxinfo|egrep direct
         direct rendering: No

It may be that the radeon driver is not in use. Maybe the fbdev driver or similar is loaded instead. Post the output of

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
