Hello List, This is probably something really simple, but if you don't know, you just don't know. I tried looking around on the forums a bit and didn't find anything there either.
I just finished installing the ATI-drivers package, and succesfully got X running with the ATI generated xorg.conf file. When i run glxgears as a standard user i get the following: ~ $ glxgears libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted) libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering 4642 frames in 5.1 seconds = 913.481 FPS but when i run glxgears as root, it runs fine with no complaints and FPS near 2000. I'm guessing it's system permissions somewhere, but i'm not sure where to look. BTW: my user account is part of the video group as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! -- Andy
