I get errors when running glxgears to test the 3d on X...
If I run it fron root everything goes well :

sideralis init.d # glxgears
1135 frames in 5.0 seconds = 227.000 FPS
1522 frames in 5.0 seconds = 304.400 FPS

but from user i get an error about libGL:

blackman@sideralis .fluxbox $ glxgears
libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
331 frames in 6.0 seconds = 55.167 FPS
314 frames in 5.0 seconds = 62.800 FPS
235 frames in 5.0 seconds = 47.000 FPS
314 frames in 6.0 seconds = 52.333 FPS

And it's really slow.. SO, as I use my system from user i'd like to solve that problem, I think is't about permissions but I don't understand..

PS: the module section int /etc/X11/XF86Config is :

Section "Module"

Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "speedo"
Load "extmod"

EndSection
