DRI on ATI 3d Rage LT Pro

Okay.. I've been struggling to get DRI to work on my ATI 3d Rage LT Pro. I'm pretty sure I have it correctly specified in my xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
    Load        "dri"
EndSection
...
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "My Video Card"
    Driver      "ati"
    Option      "DRI" "on"
EndSection
...
Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

However, it's not enabled:

$ glxinfo 
direct rendering: No

and here is my Xorg.0.log

(WW) ATI(0): Option "DRI" is not used

I came across this webpage that seems to specifically say that my video card is supported.

So what am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated..

hmm ... suggestion for your "Device" section:

        Option      "RenderAccel" "1"
        Option      "DDCMode" "true"

at least this i have for the "radeon" driver

good luck

I've a ATI Rage 128 pro, and bad luck for us: no good 3D support (or the crad is just crap). You need the r128 driver, not the ati one. Except if the LT is something totally different...
