no direct rendering with catalyst

I know that recently there have been a few problems with catalyst. After a recent update I could not get direct rendering to work. Here is the xorg.conf:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: no direct rendering with catalyst

Any errors in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
