I guess I messed things up, acceleration is gone now and I can't get it 
back :((

[eric@atto:~]$ glxinfo |grep -i render
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect


I just restarted X and it's gone... I probably changed some packages 
on the system and broke the good config. Now I'm lost, I can't direct 
rendering either with:

ii  libgl1-mesa-dri 6.3.2-2
rc  xlibmesa-gl     6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 
rc  xlibmesa-dri    6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
ii  xlibmesa-glu    6.8.2-10      

installed, nor with

rc  libgl1-mesa-dri 6.3.2-2 
ii  xlibmesa-dri    6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
ii  xlibmesa-gl     6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
ii  xlibmesa-glu    6.8.2-10      

I have to add that I didn't touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf

At which point did I go wrong ?
