ooops! :) 

which xorg version is it? 7.6 ?

because look, with xorg-1.10 I get this:

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.4
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.3
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

but no direct rendering anymore, rasterizing ... 

and you confirm certainly what I answered to Olivier that it was
working with ATI before xorg ver 7.7
