    Recently I found out that dri is not enabled, I used the glxinfo command, and it returns that it is only using software to render, instead of the intel GMA chipset. I've tried enabling dri by loading its modules on xorg, by editing the xorg.conf file. But its the same, and the xorg log tells me that "screen0 is not dri capable" but it should be, rite?

    Any ideas?

    Edit: I had tried updating the GMA chipset driver with the guide found on this forum, but still dri wasn't enabled. Then I saw the last post, which mentions a problem with the virtual screen size (which shouldn't be above 2048) I edited it, and now its finally working. :p Next time I won't look specifically on the feature I'm trying to run, but instead on "outdated" stuff that could be related (specially drivers), unfortunately everything seems outdated :S
