Sorry direct rendering doesn't work as was explained in Step 1 of the How-To. I've followed the first step to a TEE. I had it working in Edgy Eft no problem. When I upgraded to Feisty, direct rendering broke (surprise surprise). I use a Radeon 9000.

I added that line in the Module section, but it made no difference when I restarted X.

Looks ok. Are you sure that you followed the tutorial as close as possible? Maybe you made a typo somewhere?
I basically copied/pasted everything additional you need into xorg.conf that was in the tutorial. There has to be something either myself or the tutorial is missing. Is there a way to contact the author(s) of the tutorial? Maybe it's possible they left something out? If indeed it's a typo on my end, shouldn't there be some sort of log I could check to see why hardware acceleration isn't working?
OOps! Sorry I didn't realize you were the author Falko. It's been a long week. At any rate there has to be something logged somewhere... do you have anything like this in Dmesg...? Code: $ dmesg | grep -i error [ 58.426325] [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held [ 58.426481] [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 5019 using kernel context 0 [ 193.053089] [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held [ 193.053244] [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 5711 using kernel context 0 [ 5748.405127] [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held [ 5748.405282] [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 10278 using kernel context 0 [152491.837807] [drm:radeon_cp_init] *ERROR* radeon_cp_init called without lock held [152491.837966] [drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 9100 using kernel context 0
Code: $ sudo modprobe -r fglrx Password: $ glxinfo | grep vendor server glx vendor string: SGI client glx vendor string: SGI OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org $ lsmod | grep radeon radeon 124576 0 drm 81044 1 radeon Pretty sure. Actually I've had such awful experiences using fglrx that pretty much the first thing I do on a new system with a Radeon is remove that driver and install the open source ATI driver.
Still nothing?? I've yet to figure out why your tutorial to enable hardware acceleration doesn't work for me.
resolution problem in Beryl hi Falko, I followed your idea to configure and install Beryl. However, it is not working. I found 2 things. 1. Load "dbe" was not present. I put it manually, but still failed to work. 2. I found this generated segment while loading Beryl. When I changed my resolution to 1024x768, it was working. However, my desktop does not look good at this resolution. How can I run Beryl with my current resolution of 1400x1050. All the other components are same like you except Load "dbe" was not present. Following is my xorg.conf file
Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12403&highlight=maximum+texture+size
including texture issue in your tutorial hey Falko, Thanks. but, why don't you include this "texture" issue in your tutorial to install ubuntu. I think there are also other people who are facing this problem. After going through all the installation process, it is quite frustrating to be failed at last.
Because I didn't have that problem on my laptop (with a 1280x800 resolution). And that's why we have the forum so that people that do have problems can ask.
