Well, I've been all over trying to find out why acceleration isn't working, but I've made absolutely no progress. I'm using Slackware 9, XFree 4.3.0, Kernel 2.4.20. My card is an ATI Radeon 9500 Pro. The problem is that everything seems configured right, and X says that everything went fine. The log reports loading the right drivers with no errors, and finds everything okay, but reports that direct rendering is disabled. Everything seems to load like it should, except that Xlib says it's missing XFree86-DRI, and glxinfo says that I'm using Mesa Indirect.
My config file:

Other stuff:
* I know that bus mastering is okay. setpci for my device ID gives me 0087.
* /proc/dri/0 exists, but /dev/dri doesn't.
* My card is a duel-head...does this mean I need to explicitly set the bus ID?
Thanks a lot for any info.
