Radeon 9600 dri
I had DRI working before in opensuse 10.2 and some updates later, i noticed it is no longer working.
Here is my xorg.conf

I have tried using both "radeon" and "ati" as the driver for the card and can't figure out why i can not get dri working again.
-Edit-
And i was told not to use fglrx with this card as it is not supported.

Nothing sure, but a few things to think about :
- I've never seen the DRI mode be 0777, always 0666 in my past configurations
- DRI doesn't necessarily work with very high resolutions, I've encountered some cases where it was needed to drop the resolution slightly down to get DRI working
- do you belong to the group 'video', or whoever runs X?
- does /var/log/Xorg.0.log tell you any reasons why DRI should fail?
As far as I know, every Radeon card from 8500 upwards is supported by fglrx. I know <8500 models aren't, and things may have changed, but in the past (1-2 years ago) 8500+ were supported. Surf to ATI site and read their official documentation, it'll tell if your card model is supported; there's better knowledge than somebody off the web telling you how things "are". I'm not saying fglrx is easy to install, or that it works all right, or that it's nice to reinstall the drivers every time you modify/upgrade your kernel, but it might be possible anyway.

hwd seems to be the solution, as well as adding a line or 2 from the conf file that it creates.
