Can't load r200_dri in libGL (ATI Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000])

I also don't have dri capability with my Radeon 7000 due to the same problem: undefined symbols.

same here on my r100 (Radeon 7500 mobility),
fixed it (temporary) by linking /usr/lib/dri /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

Hi Martin,

where did you get that "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri" directory?
I don't have it on my computer, nor could I find any Dapper package providing that folder.

Did you install a fresh Xorg distribution, by-passing dpkg?

Same problem here. _glapi_get_dispatch is undefined symbol in
/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so

and thus DRI is disabled with my ATI Radeon 9100.

On Dapper I fixed this problem compiling and installing my own libGL: quoting from http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting :

"If the driver complains about unresolved symbols then your libGL is out of sync with your DRI drivers. Because APIs change, you typically need a libGL from the latest X.Org release to run DRI drivers, and sometimes you need a libGL from X.Org CVS for the latest drivers. Reinstall both your drivers and your libGL from sources from the same date."

since I remember it was a pain, I'd really like to have DRI work out of the box on Edgy - please fix this ASAP !!

Thanks!

I also have this problem with a Ati Radeon 9200 (Mobility M9+ I think) inside a notebook.

I stumbled upon a message on the internet while searching for a resolution that said something like:
"After debugging and looking at loaded drivers and such it seems that even if I use the 'ati' driver it tries to load some DRI components from the 'fglrx' driver. After uninstalling the xorg-video-fglrx driver this problem was gone."

I have tried the same, and it worked flawlessly for me. So I would advise anyone else to try this. (And you could also try the other way around: uninstall 'ati' and use 'fglrx' if that's preferred. Haven't tested this though.)

It seems like those two drivers might conflict with each other. (At least they did for me.)

fglrx can't be installed when trying to use the free driver with acceleration.

Same with the r300 driver:
the distribution is bleeding edge (20 June 2007) gutsy, the card is a R423 (although, i guess it's pretty irrelevant)
libgl1-mesa-dri version is 6.5.3-1ubuntu1

I noticed the solution specified above by Danny van Heumen, hunted down all remains of hand-installed fglrx, deleted them, and it just worked, as promised.
