I have written a small guide for Gentoo that explains how to get DRI/DRM working with R300 (and newer cards) all though you may not use Gentoo it should be very easy to get it working on other distributions: The guide is here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-374745-highlight-r300.html -------------- Regards.
