Ahh, that's because I am not a member of the video group. Fixed. Now I get the gallium DRI driver. glxgears works nicely and less than 15% cpu usage for 60fps when I use the xfce4 desktop. But Gnome is not so happy: all I get is a black screen with the cursor when I log in. After a while it switches to screensave mode, brings up the password entry prompt when I move the mouse, and I can unlock and come back to the big black empty nothiningness. This new Gnome experience is somewhat underwhelming. Cheers Michael. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-alpha-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
