Your X output seems to indicate that you have the color depth set to 24. Unfortunately, the Intel 810 and 815 chipsets require the color depth to be changed to 16 in order for direct rendering to work. This is from the i810 man page:
"The driver supports hardware accelerated 3D via the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI), but only in depth 16 for the i810/i815 and depths 16 and 24 for the 830M and later." By default, Ubuntu (as of Edgy) always sets the color depth to 24 for computers with Intel graphics. Just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root, look for the line that says "DefaultDepth 24" in the screen section, change it to "DefaultDepth 16" and restart X. -- no direct rendering on dapper with i810 chipset (855GM) https://launchpad.net/bugs/42049 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
