9 Do the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so and libdri.so files exist?

11 For me,
12 libdri.so is a symlink to /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions/libdri.so
13 libglx.so is a symlink to /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/extensions/libglx.so (since you havent run the eselect to repoint it yet, it will be set to /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libglx.so).

19 If you're using flgrx you want 'eselect opengl set ati', but again I thought 2D would work fine without this.
