PS:  Re below, here's the message I get more specifically:

[root@dannyp root]# glxinfo | grep rendering
Xlib:=A0 extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
______________________________________________

My YDL 3.0 is running on an original 333 iMac with an ATI Rage 128=20
(AGP, I think).

When I do "glxgears," I get an FPS of between 80 and 100 on the 3D=20
spinning wheels image.

But when I run "glxinfo | grep rendering," I get a "direct rendering:=20
no" message.

I've gone into /etc/X11/XF86Config and uncommented "load DRI," per info=20=

I've found on the web.  It apparently has no effect.

I've also tried substituting the "r128" driver for the "fbdev" driver,=20=

but then my xserver won't start and I'm stuck in text display.  The=20
card only seems happy with "fbdev" as the driver (haven't tried the=20
"ati" driver -- couldn't find any references to that working on the=20
web).

Anyone have any suggestions for getting 3D hardware acceleration?  I've=20=

gone to the ATI site, but their Linux drivers all seem to be for the=20
higher end Radeon cards.

Thanks in advance.=
