kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r9

I am using Xorg server heres the config file section for device:

Do you have a video card, or is the display built into the motherboard? I have a radeon 9000 working on a SiS mobo after some headaches, so i might be able to help.

Its a builtin sis agp chipset on a laptop.

looking at my own xorg.conf file the only mention of dri I have in the entire thing is

Heres my output from glxgears:

glxgears
1204 frames in 5.0 seconds = 240.800 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.000 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.000 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.000 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.000 FPS
1440 frames in 5.0 seconds = 288.000 FPS
1233 frames in 5.0 seconds = 246.600 FPS
1320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.000 FPS

Heres my output from glxinfo | grep rendering:

glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: No

After reading through the log this is the only thing of direct relevence that I could find:

(NI) SIS(0): DRI not supported on this chipset
(II) SIS(0): RENDER acceleration enabled
(II) SIS(0): Frame Buffer From (0,0) To (1024,8039)
(II) SIS(0): Using SiS300/315/330/340 series HW Xv by default on CRT2
(II) SIS(0): Direct rendering disabled

I have all the kernel modules set, what ones need to be compiled as modules and what ones as built in?

Thanks in advance for any input.

peace

Sorry to say there is no dri for your chipset:
