  Hi,

    After some conversations about ati vs nvidia... I want to get 3d 
working here.
I have 2.6.11, Debian Sid, updated. I created my custom kernel. radeon 7500

dri is one of the modules listed under /etc/X11/XFree86-config
the driver for the video card is ati and the radeon module of the kernel 
is loaded.

Still, when I do glxinfo | grep direct. It says:
alejandro:~# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

Everything under /var/log/Xfree86.log.0 looks fine, no errors and loads 
the modules. The log recognizes the M7

I wonder what I have missing, or what am I doing wrong.

Any tips are appreciated.

.Alejandro
