Well, I took care of the "record" module..... cut it from xorg.conf, so that's one down.

Here is my cleaned up xorg.conf:

	Identifier     "X.org Configured"

I would rebuild the dri drivers. It looks like the r300 dri isn't matching up to your libGL for some reason.

Like I said, I can't find a PKGBUILD that successfully builds dri drivers from git, so you may have to do it manually.

Here's one from git I just found:

#Maintainer: Matt Parnell/ilikenwf <[email protected]>

pkgname=xf86driproto-git
pkgver=20080807
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="X11 DRI extension wire protocol"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license='custom'
url="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
source=()
provides=('xf86driproto' 'xf86driproto-git')
replaces=('xf86driproto')
conflicts=('xf86driproto')
md5sums=()

_gitroot="git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/proto/dri2proto"
_gitname="dri2proto"

build() {

 msg "Connecting to git.freedesktop.org GIT server...."

  if [ -d $startdir/src/$_gitname ] ; then
  cd $_gitname && git-pull origin
  msg "The local files are updated."
  else
  git clone $_gitroot
  fi

  msg "GIT checkout done or server timeout"
  msg "Starting make..."

cd $startdir/src/$_gitname

  sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install || return 1
}

and here is one from SVN (3days ago):

# $Id: PKGBUILD 356 2008-04-18 22:56:27Z aaron $
#Maintainer: Jan de Groot <[email protected]>

pkgname=dri2proto
pkgver=1.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="X11 DRI protocol"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=('custom')
url="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/"
source=(${url}/releases/individual/proto/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('1d70f0653b0b3a837853262dc5d34da4')

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr || return 1
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install || return 1
  install -m755 -d ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}
  install -m644 COPYING ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/ || return 1
}

would it be better to use the one from GIT or SVN?

[Execute_Method]

well, the one from SVN didn't do anthing....Trying the one from GIT, but I don't think it's gonna help.....

[Execute_Method]

OMFG!!!!! I got it!!

Stupid newb had to recompile libgl with radeon & r300 modules.

I am now getting 2700fps on glxgears and no errors in Xorg log or glxinfo.

Now to figure out that evdev module.

hi
can you paste all pkgbuilds which you use?
