# lsmod Module Size Used by Tainted: P fglrx 167336 0 (unused) agpgart 16800 0 (unused) ... .. . I've restarted X, but as you can see, they are still unused. What could be the problem? Even if I start the glxgears, they are stay unused.

This is true, I don't have the direct rendering enabled, because I can not load it with xfree. I've explained in my message, that I can not use both GLX (which I need for the glxgear program to work) and the DRI module. I must choose from those. If I load both the GLX and the DRI modules in xfree, and using 'fglrx' xfree driver, then the X doesn't start, and I get this error message in the XFree86.0.log: Fatal server error: __glXExtensionInit: AddExtensions failed If I enable both the GLX and the DRI (again), but using the 'radeon' xfree driver, X simply hangs my system and I have reset. If I understand you clearly, I need the GLX and the DRI module too, for a working 3d acceleration?
