Well its been a few weeks and yes I managed to get dri to work!! All thanks to Tormods reference to Bugzilla Bug 10874. I took Adelaines xorg.conf and tried some of her extra options ... it is attached what I actually used.
glxgears gave 624 to 685 FPS which seems quite reasonable. Will try some more experiments to see what were the significant changes. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8219986/xorg.conf -- ATI Radeon 9200 / 9250 PCI black screen and console freeze with DRI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
