8 I've tried everthing I found on
9 google and the forums and still can't find the way to make DRI work
10 with my ATI Radeon XPress 200M and the opensource drivers.

12
13 I don't want to install the closed source because I want to use beryl,
14 and these drivers can't do the job, AFAIK.

17 So, here I am, trying to figure out what is going wrong. I made
18 everything I could think of.
