Help with Open Source ATI Drivers

My video card: ATI Radeon X300

So I finally got the driver to work when I do startx (I think), however direct rendering doesn't work. (glxinfo | grep direct)

This is the output from glxinfo

By the way, I had to do startx twice. I got this error on the first time.

Is this normal behavior or did I miss something from the wiki page?

[edit]oh, and LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo > /dev/null gives me

libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 5.2.0 r300 (screen 0)

r300_dri.so is at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/ but for some reason there is an extra '/' when it is trying to load the shared object. How can I fix that?

Re: Help with Open Source ATI Drivers

nevermind. Seems that ati-fglrx-utils wasn't removed when I installed libgl-dri.
