It seems that I need to have direct rendering.
The newest driver does not support DRI. Is DRI direct rendering?
DRI stands for Direct Rendering Infrastructure. It allows software to get around X11 and write directly to the graphics card.

The current ATI driver does support direct Rendering.
glxinfo | grep renderingI am going to assume that the one just released does also. It would make little sense if it doesn't.
direct rendering: Yes
OK, I am now ready to install the newest ATI driver on my portable.
