Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

ATI Radeon 9250 doesn't have 3D acceleration on Ubuntu 7.10
With Kernel 2.6.22-6-generic
I have tested "radeon" and "ati" drivers.
In Feisty works with both of them.

Paste info from 'lspci':

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary) (rev 01)

After installing this library, acceleration has been enabled.
May be you should install this library by default.

If you have *buntu-desktop installed they will pull this package, so it _is_ installed by default.

libgl1-mesa-dri is only in Recommends un ubuntu-desktop. I'm not sure recommends are already installed by default on ubuntu

Also Xserver-xgl did not try to install itself when fglrx is installed from Synaptic or using Restricted Drivers Manager - not too many peoples will know to install xserver-xgl or DRI manually so this thing is important to be solved.

I have to install xgl and dri from Synaptic - after fglrx instalation to have Compiz back

I second these findings for xubuntu gutsy tribe 5.
I'm running a Intel 945 chipset with the 'intel' driver.
libgl1-mesa-dri has not been installed in a fresh installation. An entry in xorg.0.log led me to the solution.
I'd suggest to include libgl1-mesa-dri in the default setup.

I have libgl1-mesa-dri but dri is still not enabled. Let me see if I can load dri as an extension. Be right back.

Finished and loaded now working OK. Apparently the 16 megs on my video card aren't enough for DRI at my current desktop resolution and depth, but changing the depth to 16 bit worked OK.

Like I said, libgl1-mesa-dri is installed by default on a fresh install. The fact that it's just a Recommends of *ubuntu-desktop means that one can remove it afterwards...
