How can I configure 3D accelaration for ATI Radeon cards ?

This was so frustrating.Until I started to read the XFree logs really well and google a bit. There is no /dev/dri/card0 So dri is the culprit.

  1. I got the latest kernel source using YOU. then cd to /usr/src/linux

  2. and do:

    zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
    make oldconfig
    	    
  3. edit .config and enable CONFIG_DRM=y and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m

  4. make all install modules_install
    		
  5. make sure hw accell is enabled in yast (sax)

  6. reboot

  7. and to get some extra frames edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and add

    Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
    		

    in the "Device" section and I had hw accell from 115 fps in glxgears to 1470 fps on my AMD 3200+ with ATI RADEON 9200SE
