radeon 9000 pro... "direct rendering: yes" but no 3D acceleration in fact
 

hi there,

my video card is a Ati Radeon 9000 pro 128Mo

here's the problem... i just installed the driver 3.11.1 from ATI. I run X.org 6.7 under my Slackware 10 box. glxinfo tells me "direct rendering: yes" but i get only 80 fps in glxgears. dmesg | grep fglrx gives me that result:

My guess is that the problem comes from the errors messages from dmesg. Theses are there since i compiled a new kernel 2.6.7. i think that the driver fglrx conflict with an other builtin Ati driver in the kernel but i paid attention to not include it... i tried to compile a kernel with and without DRM but it changes absolutely nothing. Another thing I find strange is about the first message in dmesg telling that the module will taint the kernel... that message tells about the Ati Copyright 2002... why 2002 while i installed the 2004 one??? is it can be the other driver conflicting with???

I hope someone will understand something about all that cause me i don't know what to do to go further.
