ati x1600 problem

Hi all,
I've got a laptop with the ati x1600 video card, and I'm trying to get the
card working properly. I know it is not working since some opengl
screensavers are not playing well and the xdriinfo reports:
[luca at fluca:~]$ sudo xdriinfo
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
Screen 0: not direct rendering capable.
I've installed the driver downloaded from the ati website and I run:
sudo aticonfig --initial --overlay-type=Xv
and now my xorg.conf file reports (main sections)
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
Option "AIGLX" "true"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "vbe"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
but even after rebooting the X server (and the machine for sake) I got no DRI
accelaration:
[luca at fluca:~]$ fglrxinfo
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.2)
I've cheked the logs and I found a single line suspect:
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
but I'm not sure this represents the problem. Does anybody knows how can I set
up the DRI on the video card? I'm using xserver 7.2, kubuntu 7.04.
Thanks,
Luca
