THis machine has an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000. I have everything but DRI, and therefore 3D acceleration working...

Can anyone get DRI working on an ATI card with the open source drivers? I can't use fglrx...

Post up your xorg.conf and have a look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any clues.

Does it complain when trying to load the DRI module? Do you have:
Load "dri"
in your xorg.conf?

Have you enabled it in your device section:
Option "DRI" "true"
?

Do you have a:
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection
section?

Orbital: Thanks, but I can't use fglrx, as I posted originally.

3Dave:I added these lines:

Option "DRI" "true"
Group 0

that you said I should have had... and it worked. Thanks!

I'm curious though, why do I need those? On an Intel 810 chipset, those lines aren't necessary to enable DRI, and that's what I was using as a base config...
