i had success getting Xorg 7.0 and now 7.1 to use direct rendering with the x11-drm drivers on a laptop with a ATI Mobility M6 LY. The 2.16.6-r7 kernel drm driver didn't work out so well. Also when I use XGL glxinfo reports direct rendering disabled although Xorg log shows direct rendering was enabled. 8O

This it isn't working. Let me explain,

Xorg.0.log is for X server, so called Server Side. If Direct Rendering is enabled there, it's only a first step.
glxinfo reports client messages (Mesa DRI, or NVidia, or fglrx, or whatever drivers one is using)

So by having Direct Rendering enabled only in _server side_ but not in _client side_ means it's not working.

Here is how you can get valid error message from glxinfo:

Type in terminal/bash, as normal user inside X this command: LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

And look at the top of it.

Hi all,
I've a laptop with a Radeon Mobility 7500 LW

I've Xorg 7.0r1 with this config:

I've installed latest x11-drm but I still have low 3D perfomances...

here's glxgears FPS:
1907 frames in 5.2 seconds = 365.614 FPS
1938 frames in 5.0 seconds = 387.363 FPS
1938 frames in 5.0 seconds = 387.329 FPS

I've heard that ppl with this videocard reached 1300~1600 FPS
with DRI enabled...

but here all seems ok...have a look:

should I believe glxinfo seeing this low performances?
any hints?

thanx
