Trying to run Looking Glass
 
Hey guys like the title says trying to get project looking glass running on my box.

Box specs:
Slackware 12.0 with modular Xorg
Slack kernel 2.6.21.5
ATI X200m vid card
FGLRX 8.39.4
I run x from bash (startx, no gdm, xdm etc)

I have 3d acceleration glxinfo | grep direct --> gives Direct rendering yes
glx gears / fglx gears works with ok frame rates, dri enabled and working, Open arena runs good etc

Downloaded looking glass, extracted yada yada,
I can get it running from by "startx /path-to-binary/lg3d-app-full"
or run the app from x and open it in a window, the problem is I have no acceleration in looking glass weather it is started from bash or from X.

If I run glxinfo under my standard window manager in X it says:
---------------------
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
etc
---------------------

However if I run glxinfo in a terminal under looking glass it says:
---------------------
name of display: :1.0
Xlib: xetension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
display: :1 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
---------------------

If I open the lg3d-app shell script there are two lines in it:
---------------------
USER_DISPLAY=":0"
LG_DISPLAY=":1"
---------------------
So the reason it is on display 1 makes sense but I dont know how to switch acceleration to dispaly 1 screen 0. Any ideas?

As a side note there is another shell script lg3d-session that looks like it starts a session of looking glass on screen 0 and starts x but if I run it as my user it says it doesent have write acces to Xorg.log and if I give temporary open acces to that log it says it doesent have permissions to tty1. If I run the script as root/su/sudo it says (screen output) it is starting x windows 6.9.0 and fails:
(EE) module ABI minor version (3) is newer than the server's version (2)
(EE) Failed to load module "glx) (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) module ABI major version (1) dosen't match the server's version (0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers avilable

Any ideas on this one?
TIA
Mike_
