    KDM and the ATI binary driver.

    Got a strange one here I am hoping someone might help me with.

    I have a HP Compaq 6715b with an ATI Radeon X1200 series chip set in it. I have installed the the ATI Binary drivers on the system with no problems. X runs beautiful and every thing runs well until I log out and log back in....

    When I first login and fire up KInfoCenter, it lists the right ATI drivers for OpenGL. Yet when I logout and log back in it lists the Mesa OpenGL Indirect Rendering driver... And yes things run slow and a number of apps like kaffine freak out....

    Now if I restart kdm (/etc/init.d/kde stop; /etc/init.d/kdm start) it loads the right drivers and everything works as it should.

    I have yet to be able to figure out what KDM is doing to disable the ATI rendering engine, but if anyone has any ideas I would be greatly appreciative...

    Regards

    Randall

    I'd check the X log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log when it gives you the "bad" session.
