    Undo any changes you've made since you posted your XF86Config-4 file.

    It's not that you can't change the OpenGL driver... The problem is
    that it can't enable direct rendering in the server, so it's defaulting
    to Mesa instead of ATI's drivers. This is not unusual.

    Check to see if you have a /dev/dri/card0 entry on your filesystem.
    If not, create it with the following commands:

    $ mkdir -p /dev/dri
    $ cd /dev/dri
    $ mknod dri0 c 226 0

    (That all has to be done as root).

    Kill X and restart it.

    Good luck :-)
