    ATI graphics users,

    I seem to have lost "direct rendering" capabilities from my Radeon 7200
    card. Checked all the usual things, modules are there, using Mantel's
    2.4.21-4 athlon kernel, no recent changes to graphics setup or files.
    I have ran sax2 to make sure that went well and it did. Everything is
    activated that should be running. The /etc/sysconfig/3Ddiag has
    switch2xf86_glx running.

    Running glxinfo shows no direct rendering and gears are slow and Tux
    Racer is slow. The 7200 is about the same as the 7000 card, so it
    doesn't fit into the "need an ATI binary driver" to get the 3d working.
    In fact, I believe the standard XFree86 4.3 supports 3d for the Radeons
    up to the 9200, but beyond that you need the binary drivers.

    Any thoughts anyone? Has someone run across this lately as well?

    Pat

 On any other day, that might seem strange...
