General Procedure to get ATI/DRI card running?

[Labitt, Bruce]

No joy so far.  Still getting Mesa GLX Indirect.  Any other ideas?

Does the order in the file matter?

Looks like you're missing the glx module, based on your paste not including it.

Section "Module"
        Load  "glx"

In the future I'll be sure to ask what distro you're running before recommending hardware.  Apparently everyone that isn't running Gentoo or another up-to-date distro is a second-class citizen left to toil in the fields if they want anything even remotely new.
