direct rendering: Yes; DRI: No.

glxinfo | grep 'dire\|rer strin'
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

I have a Radeon Mobility X1600, as fglrx does not support this chipset I am using the open source drivers.
Following the instructions in the wiki I installed:
libgl ati-dri xf86-video-ati mesa

Here is an extract of the xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
    Load  "glx"
    Load  "dri"
    Load  "dri2"
    Load  "drm"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Option     "AGPMode" "8"            # <i>
        Option     "AGPFastWrite" "yes"      # [<bool>]
        Option     "AGPSize" "256"          # <i>
        Option     "EnablePageFlip" "On"    # [<bool>]
        Option     "DMAForXv" "On"          # [<bool>]
        Option     "AccelDFS" "On"          # [<bool>]
        Option     "ColorTiling" "On"       # [<bool>]
        Option     "ScalerWidth" "2048"         # <i>
        Option     "RenderAccel" "On"         # [<bool>]
        Option     "DRI" "On"               # [<bool>]
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "radeon"

    VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
    BoardName   "M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

and here is an extract of my xorg log:

(WW) RADEON(0): R500 support is under development. Please report any issues to xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org

(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed (libdri.a too old)
[dri] Disabling DRI.

(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

Any insight? Thanks for any help.

Re: direct rendering: Yes; DRI: No.

Found the problem, strangely enough the file 'libdri.xorg' was missing.
