Okay, this has put me on the right trail at least, glxinfo is telling
me the following:
mh@phoenix:/data/unsorted% glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
Okay, onwards to errors from the Xorg logfile:
mh@phoenix:/data/unsorted% egrep '^\((WW|EE)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) The directory "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" does not exist.
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module glcore
(EE) Failed to load module "glcore" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module synaptics
(EE) Failed to load module "synaptics" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode
disabled (WW) RADEON(0): Option "HWCursor" is not used
(EE) No Input driver matching `synaptics'
Below there is my xorg.conf. The strange thing is that it has worked on Xorg 6.9 for a good
while and therefore i can't really understand what suddenly broke it. Maybe the wrong libs
are installed or something like that ?
Thanks for your help so far and thanks for any suitable solution.
