    whynot,
    Make sure that you run:
    Code:
    opengl-update ati
    You have to run it as root. Your glxinfo shows
    OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
    OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
    OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)
    This means that x.org is not using the ATI supplied OpenGL libraries. The above command resolves that.

    Regards,
    Joel

    Code:
    whynot@Acer ~ $ glxinfo|grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
    Thanks lol.I did as u said.
    it works great now.
