I had the same problem with my HP NX7000-7010 (renew) Notebook. After you have done all the things from this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
And fglrxinfo still shows that: display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1) You should check this option if it is commented in Section "Module": Load "dri" (for me it works fine after remove the comment, or if you don't have type it, and try) lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 01) fglrxinfo: display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
