I decided to install OpenOffice 2 to give it a whirl, and it kept not running upon installation; I tried reinstalling it a few times, but to no avail.
When I next booted up, I'd lost direct rendering with my ATI card! Why on earth would that have happened?
The only other things that I'd done before the reboot were cleaning out /var/cache/pacman/pkg and /tmp.
I'd be extremely grateful for ANY help with this, as I'm dying to get back to modelling with Blender and playing Enemy Territory, lol :'(
When I run ET, it gives me this:

Looks like you are running Mesa, and not the DRI. First, run fglrxinfo and make sure it is running Mesa (although I can see it is), then run lsmod and check that the fglrx module is running.
You didnt do ANYTHING? Not upgrade the kernel or similar? You could also try pacman -Sy ati-drivers again in any case. If you installed some package with mesa as the dependency, it will overwrite your libGL and similar. Atleast it used to.

well, I reinstalled my ati-drivers (I use the script from the ATI site) and everything's ok again now... I really can't see why there would have been a problem though... if anyone has any idea, I'd like to know, for future reference :?
