yes, dri is weird with the xorg update but not on that video card you have

only on older cards, what driver is being used? the ati proprietary?  seems to be

what version?

[demilord]

its a ati radeon mobillity HD4570

driver is 8.850-2pclos2011  and yes the fglrx

I have the same in my .xsession-errors file:

I am running the ATI binary version 11.3 (8.836) on a Sapphire HD-5670 pcie video card.

But glxinfo says yes for direct-rendering.... so which do we believe!   

[demilord]

the problem is opengl in wine always has worked but since the last update its all black.. so something is broken somewhere

[demilord]

Tried kernel 2.6.38 now I get graphic corruption and flickering opengl.. after a while everything locks up... and need a hard shut down my laptop
