direct rendering for user

When I run glxinfo as a root I get - direct rendering: yes, but as a user I have direct renderin: no. How to enable direct rendering to normal user?
I use radeon driver from Arch.

Re: direct rendering for user

I quote[1]:
"
If you want all of the users on your system to be able to use direct-rendering, then use a simple DRI section like this:
Section "DRI"
         Mode 0666
EndSection
"

Does it helps ?

Re: direct rendering for user

I have this section in xorg.conf.
I have KDE3.4 now and direct rendering doesn't work when logged in as a user.
What daemons should I start with KDE 3.4 to enable all KDE features?

Re: direct rendering for user

For DRI look at your Xorg log file in /var/log . Your second question is answered in the other thread you started.

I had same problem here, due to bad permission to dri device. In /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules :

KERNEL="card[0-9]*",    NAME="dri/%k", GROUP="video"

but group video didn't exist.

Add group video to the system and to your user solve the problem.
