No Direct Rendering

English Hardware
1

I typed this in the console using both user and root permissions:
glxinfo | grep -i direct
and it says for both:
*** WARNING: Direct Rendering is NOT enabled

I have successfully installed the 10.2 proprietary driver from ATI. But how do i enable Direct Rendering?

Thanks in advance

Box: openSUSE 11.2 | GNOME 2.28.2 | Acer RS740DVF | AMD64 X2 5600+ | Radeon HD4670 | 3GB RAM

Just for extra info, I installed the driver following this (The Hard Way) :
ATI drivers - openSUSE

Can you open with a text editor, copy and paste the contents to PasteBin.be, press “dump” on that site, and provide here the URLs given (from that site) of the following two files from your PC:

  • /var/log/Xorg.0.log
  • /etc/X11/xorg.conf

… also provide the output of:

rpm -qa '*fglrx*'
zypper lr -d

and finally, in case the above does not give all needed information, exactly WHAT ATI graphic hardware do you have ? Is it the Radeon HD4670 in your sig ?

I type in the command in terminal using super user mode:
kdesu dolphin, and select the downloaded file, it opens it in Kwrite.

What should I do?

What are you trying to do ? What command are you typing? What file are you downloading?
