Hello people, I've got a strange problem with the DRI/OpenGL in combination with the OS RADEON driver in gentoo 2005.1

First let me explain the situation...

Kernel gentoo-sources-2.6.12-R9
Athlon 2600+ 1gb ram
NForce2 Chipset (has been enabled in kernel as module, like in the tutorials available)
Asus Radeon 9200SE

xorg.conf

Code:
 
...
Load "dbe"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
...
Section "dri"
 Mode 0666
EndSection


Xorg.log, seems also allright, no (EE)'z

Code:

...

dmesg | grep agp

Code:

agpgart: Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset

glxinfo

Code:

name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: No            <----  and here the direct rendering is gone :(
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
...
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)


autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Code:

agpgart
nvidia-agp
radeon


USE="X, opengl.. "

As u see in the snippets above, everything seems ok and there are nog errors that I've found. But OpenGL Screensavers don't function and glxgears gets about 250fps, not very impressive. I haven't installed the (masked) Mesa3D package, but I guess that's not the problem.

I just can't get the rendering into direct mode, pleaze help!
