Re: Trouble with getting dri to work using the radeon driver.

Thanks for the reply. I have done some further progress. The fglrx
driver installer had sometime in the past added a some varibales in my
/etc/profile. I have now removed those, and reinstalled mesa-dri,
mesa-glx and the ati driver for xorg. Now when I run glxinfo with
verbose output, I get the following output.

libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No
...

So now it looks like I have a totally different issue. But I do not
know what to do about this one.
