Hello list,

I've been trying to enable direct rendering, and followed 
most thanked directions on ubuntuforums, but so far 
nothing works. My steps taken:

1. sudo aptitude purge xorg-driver-fglrx
2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
     choosing vesa driver
3. sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx
4. sudo aticonfig --initial --overlay-type=Xv
5 sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
     adding Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
6. sudo depmod -a (and without -a flag)
7. sudo modprobe fglrx
8. reboot

This was the latest attempt, before that I had found some 
slightly differing methods, which all ended in the same 
results:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No

What else can I still try? I've verified the graphics 
adapter:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ lspci | grep ATI
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies 
Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 02)

My system is:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ uname -a
Linux jjod600n 2.6.15-23-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 23 
14:03:07 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

And restricted-modules are installed:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ apt-cache policy 
linux-restricted-modules-686
linux-restricted-modules-686:
   Installed: 2.6.15.22

         500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com 
dapper/restricted Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The funny thing is:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

But, still when I do:

jaska at jjod600n:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)

So, does anyone have any clue to what goes wrong in my 
system? I'd appreciate all hints and tips. Thanks a lot in 
advance! :)
