Eugene, To my untrained eye this log doesn't really show if dri was loaded. I had the same log, but dri didn't work on my G400. I apologize if I needlesly reiterate what you've already done, but I believe that in addition to the kernel compile options you mentioned I had the following: CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y (since I have a 440BX chipset) CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_MGA=y also, look for this part in the XFree86.log: (==) MGA(0): Silken mouse enabled (**) Option "dpms" (**) MGA(0): DPMS enabled (II) MGA(0): Using overlay video (II) MGA(0): X context handle = 0x00000001 (II) MGA(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler (II) MGA(0): [DRI] installation complete (II) MGA(0): [drm] Mapped 128 DMA buffers (==) MGA(0): Direct rendering enabled You really want to se the last line above. I╢m attaching my XF86Config-4 if that will help any. Alex.
