Xfree86-DRI


I recieve the error:

Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".


When trying to run Google Earth as well as many other applications. I am not sure whats wrong, but I was just recently trying to get my ati 9800 pro working. Perhaps its not installed quite right (but at least my display isnt 640x480 anymore.

I am using 2 monitors (which arnt set up for dual monitors yet) Dell 24" widescreen, and SVA 17"


I will post my xorg.conf file, Thanks!!

What's in lsmod | grep fglrx output? If it's empty, did you install fglrx kernel modules? If there's fglrx module loaded, try to turn Option "OpenGLOverlay" on.

fglrx was loaded. OpenGLOverlay has been set to on, still getting the same error.
