I am having trouble getting Direct Rendering Support to work. I have been trying for the past couple of days but can't seem to find the right guide / forum. Here is my xorg.conf file.

I appreciate the help. I have a Dell c640 with a 7500 M7 running 2.6.9-r1. I compiled with genkernel.

Hi
First I´d check that you effectively have DRI enabled in your kernel, you could go into it with genkernel --menuconfig all and go to the appropiate sections. Theres also a great post on the forums about the Radeon 7500 on laptops, just search for 7500 on the forums.
