Hi

I'm was not able to get 3D acceleration for the ATI Radeon to work. I 
installed the mesa package and all the Xfree 4.1 stuff from mandrakle freq2 
on my mandrake 8.0.
Then I edited my XF86Config to this (only the important parts of the file):

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Mode0666

But when I now start a 3D game like heretic I get this message:
heiko@localhost bin]$ ./heretic2 +set gl_driver /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2

When I take the libGL.so.1.2.030401 which is in the same directory like 
libGL.so.1.2 the game starts but is extremely slow (less than 1 frame per 
second). I think this libGL is the software renderer from mesa because it 
also works when using the unchanged XF86Config without any dri stuff. The 
agpgart module is loaded and I have the same problem as root.

Can anybody help me?
