Hi,

thanks for viewing :)

I have a centrino laptop (Dell Inspiron 8600) with a Ati 9600 Pro Turbo. It is a new gentoo install with the 2.6.4 kernel. Everything compiled with (~x86). Right now I can't play any movies with mplayer - it complains about missing XVideo extension. Also I cant use the neat kde toy to resize/rotate the root window - RandR is missing.
Running "xrandr" gives me:

Code:
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".


Runing "xvinfo" gives me:

Code:
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present


The XFree86 log tells another stories:


Code:
(==) RandR enabled


and

Code:
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation


The fglrx module is loaded. The agpgart option is compiled as a module and under directrendering (DRI) I choosed "ATI Radeon" as a module.

Please help me since I'am lost with this issue.

Here are the XF86Config-4, the XFree86.0.log, xdpyinfo and lsmod :

*Just a little sidenote - I can play games like UT2004Demo very well but glxinfo gives me a score of around 60... My another gentoo box (with a geforce Ti4200) has scores around 3200! This isn't related to "vsync" in any way?

Thank you very much

The XVideo issue is solved. I compiled the dri "subdriver" (Ati radeon) as a module that was not automatically loaded. After loading the "radeon" module - it works.
