This would be your "major error". My guess is that when you removed the nVidia drivers, you left a great honkin' DRI-shaped hole in your XFree86 installation-- and however you installed the drivers did not repair this hole.
How, in fact, did you "install" the drivers? Did you install the RPM with the --force option (to overwrite the MESA libs)? Did you buiild the driver module against the kernel source before loading it? Did you follow any of the instructions in the
HOWTO: Installation Instructions for the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver, given that it says:
Otherwise, if fglrxinfo indicates that MESA Indirect (software) Rendering is being used, then you may want to repeat the steps listed above, while paying careful attention to the following:
* Any error messages during install (see below)
* All answers given during fglrxconfig
The following messages may appear while installing the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver:
* "no kernel module build environment"
* "Warning: loading fglrx.o will taint the kernel"
* "conflicts with file from package XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2"
* "The QT based control panel application did not load in any version"
* unresolved symbols
?
Without more information as to just what you did, in general I would say (as the user of a working AIW 9800 SE), that your drivers are improperly/incompletely installed, and I would suggest reading and following the how-tos at
http://www.rage3d.com/content/articl...00000000000000 and
http://www.gmpf.de/english/ before trying again to install.
And as a stab in the dark, I would suggest switching your driver to "vesa" and removing the XFree86-MESA-GL libs completely before trying to reinstall at all-- but that's just a guess, as I never used MESA in the first place and don't know that much about how it works.
