Hello,
I have FreeBSD 6.1 (xorg 6.9) and ATi 9200 120MB RAM. When I type
glxinfo, I get [Direct Rendering: No], althgough dri and glx modules
are uncommented in the xorg.conf.
Here's a part of my xorg log when I was playing Quake3 (at a _very_
slow speed, after the game advice me to start it with:
-----error-----
You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!
Driver DLL used: libGL.so.1
If this is intentional, add
"+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1"
to the command line when starting the game.
-----error-end-----
wich I did)

I can add that I was unable to get the acceleration working on the
Slackware 10.2 (or current, xorg 6.9), using proprietary ATi drivers,
although I tried with the last version of them always. I had direct
rendering working on Debian and Ubuntu (all on the same system, off
course) but I guess they don't use the proprietary driver. Also, my
motherboard is pretty old, a SiS 703 with PCChips chipset, and I thing
that if it isn't an xorg bug, it may be a hardware incompatibility.
Thank you,
Claudiu.
