    3D ATI Video Card Driver

    hi, i'm using an ati  radeon mobility x600. i issued the following command to enable the 3D capabilities :
    Install the xorg-driver-fglrx package from the Restricted repository (see Chapter 3, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).

    echo fglrx | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
    sudo depmod -a ; sudo modprobe fglrx
    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
    sudo sed -i -e 's/"ati"/"fglrx"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    If you are using an NForce2-based motherboard you will also need to do the following:
    kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Change “Section "Device"” add the following line:
    Option  "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
    Restart your machine for changes to take effect.

    after the reboot all went cool but when i tried to verify the 3D with the command :
    glxinfo  | grep rendering i had this result :

    harys@KWARYS:~$ glxinfo | grep rendering
    Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
    direct rendering: No

    need a help to tweak it!!!
    thanks.

    Have you tried these from Ubuntu Dapper Installation Guide (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide)

    symlink etc ?

    Load "dri"
    SubSection "extmod"
    Option "omit xfree86-dga"
    EndSubSection
    Load "freetype"
    Load "glx"
    Load "int10"
