[Dri-users] Almost,but not quite.

[Shaun K. <sh...@kr...>]

I have just gotten my DRI support installed and the DRI X server working.
It shows the output that I expect it to when loading X.  This includes:
(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler
(0): [DRI] installation complete
The old libs I still have around are in /usr/lib and they are
libMesaGLw.so.3
libMesaGLwM.so.3
libGLU.so.1
libGL.so.1 is a symlink to /usr/X11R6-DRI/lib/libGL.so...
On running glxinfo I get the following on stderr:
libGL error: failed to open DRM: opperation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
This error also comes up when I start quake-gl.  What features do I need
to make sure I have disabled in order to keep GL from falling back to
software rendering?  Do I need to run things SUID root?  I feel that I'm
getting close, but there is just one thing that I am missing.
