You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!
Driver DLL used: libGL.so.1
If this is intentional, add
“+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1”
to the command line when starting the game.

you should have in /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/char/drm/
the file named radeon.o and you should load it
with insmod to the command line of the bash: insmod radeon
And it’s important that you have /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so
I don’t speak english very well but here there is a little guide http://www.xfree86.org/current/DRI10.html#47
for your video card (Yes, i’m using nVidia :slight_smile: )
Good bye.

ehm… if you are using the Radeon 9800 then you have to install the ATI driver ,
i think:
