I've been working on this a few days, and reading about others struggling with
the ATI driver. I can't seem to find anything definitive.
glxinfo shows among other things:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)
Running glxgears gives me:
$ glxgears
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
1951 frames in 5.0 seconds = 389.746 FPS
3240 frames in 5.2 seconds = 628.040 FPS
3240 frames in 5.0 seconds = 642.329 FPS
The above are with the Livna driver; after installing it, I rebooted into
runlevel 3 and ran fglrx-config-display; then restarted into X
I've tried various mods to xorg.conf such as disabling composite - my current
is:
Section "ServerLayout"

Am I on a fools errand? Should I forget about the ATI driver and revert?
