With the 2.6.24-16 kernel I get:
Code: 
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxgears
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.47.3 fglrx (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
Segmentation fault

FOr everything


With the 2.6.24-14 kernel I get:

Code: 
glxgears -info
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
GL_RENDERER   = Mesa GLX Indirect
GL_VERSION    = 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2)
GL_VENDOR     = Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
GL_EXTENSIONS = GL_ARB_imaging GL_ARB_multitexture GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp GL_ARB_texture_cube_map GL_ARB_texture_env_add GL_ARB_texture_env_combine GL_ARB_texture_env_dot3 GL_ARB_transpose_matrix GL_EXT_abgr GL_EXT_blend_color GL_EXT_blend_minmax GL_EXT_blend_subtract GL_EXT_texture_env_add GL_EXT_texture_env_combine GL_EXT_texture_env_dot3 GL_EXT_texture_lod_bias

libGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable failed

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code: 
Section "DRI"
	Mode	0666
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option		"Composite"	"disable"
EndSection

I can't run any 3d applications I need for work. I tried a load of guides and googled but nothing really works.

Yes....
lspci -v | grep ATI
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])



Been trying everything to get this working.. manual installation, editing all configs, endless reboots. Tried using Envy.

All leads to the same problem: 2.6.22-14 reports not direct rendering and MESA. 2.6.24-16 will simply seg fault!


I cannot afford to spend any more time trying to get this to work. What is the easiest way to roll back to 7.10?

Yes, for some reason DRI is failing and so it falls back to MESA software support without direct rendering.

My only glimmer of hope is that I saw on one website that with the FireGL cards (and I asumme this includes the 5200 mobility) the ATI drivers don't work since version 7.12

I tried a manual install but it still indictaed 8.4*.


This is under the 2.6.22-14 kernel.

With the 2.6.24-16 the situation seems hopeless with the segmentation faults.
