Now, this explains a lot! I didn't try this combination eariler. I was
able
to get hardware acceleration, but only as the root user.
This is strange because I have
<snip>
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
<snip>
section in my XF86Config-4 file.

I guess that I'll switch to Matrox driver to use the dual head
capability,
and wait until they catch up with the newer DRM in the kernel. I don't
have
time to play games anymore :). But it's nice to know that Linux can run
them.
Thanks a lot for your help.
