No Direct rendering with 3.4a

[DirtyHarry]

I'm having trouble getting Direct Rendering enabled in Sabayon 3.4. In Ubuntu (6.10 & 7.04) it worked flawlessly, and I don't understand why it doesn't work in Sabayon.

Okey, I installed 3.4a on my Athlon 3000+ system with nForce2 chipset and Radeon 9700pro graphics card. On liveDVD boot it already said that OpenGL didn't function, so I could only select 'No desktop acceleration'. When install finished, I looked at my xorg.conf, and it said it used the fglrx driver. But I get the following message when I check direct rendering:

Code: Select all

localhost rob # glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect


So I installed the latest Ati drivers

Code: Select all

emerge -av ati-drivers

Checked again and:

Code: Select all

localhost rob # eselect opengl set ati
Switching to ati OpenGL interface... done
localhost rob # glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

And

Code: Select all

localhost rob # /opt/bin/fglrxinfo
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 don't understand what I am doing wrong. Why doesn't it use direct rendering?

Here my xorg.conf (at least the relevant parts):

Code: Select all

I already looked on google and this forum for solutions, but I cant find anything that works.. Can somebody help me out?

I found this in my Xorg.0.log

Does this ring a bell to someone? I think this is the problem, but I don't know how to solve it..
