That's no longer necessary; in firegl_public.c instead of "#if 0" there's
"#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15)".

Note for etch users: you should build for sid, since we also have xorg 6.9.0
now.

I've followed the steps you described, but I got no luck with setting up
working DRI. My graphics card is the Radeon 800GTO on PCI-e. The modules
are loaded:
# lsmod |grep fglrx
fglrx 502304 7
# grep -i dri /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep -vE "driver|drmOpenDevice"
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.so
(II) Module dri: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.22.5
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: LGDr8.22g1
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Feb 7 2006 19:25:55
(==) fglrx(0): NoDRI = NO
(==) fglrx(0): OpenGL ClientDriverName: "fglrx_dri.so"
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit
(II) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit done
(II) fglrx(0): DRI initialization successfull!
(II) fglrx(0): [DRI] installation complete

I've tried to insert the radeon.ko module for drm, but:

With the fglrx module in xorg.conf glxgears shows:
1601 frames in 5.0 seconds = 320.200 FPS
that's ~40% of the results on the "radeon" module from xorg 6.9.0.

I'd be very happy to hear any hints on setting up the DRI correctly.
