You also need to make sure you have you Defualt screen res to 16 bits. Switch to init 3 (as root) and change your X config file to read
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
.
.
Then restart X. If all goes well
roberts@dhcp-499-45.<3>~: glxinfo | more
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
roberts@dhcp-499-45.<4>~: xvinfo | more
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
Adaptor #0: "ATI Rage128 Video Overlay"
number of ports: 1
port base: 46
operations supported: PutImage
supported visuals:
depth 16, visualID 0x23
depth 16, visualID 0x24
Dri doesn't work in 15 bit mode. And just be aware of the dri Xv bug I mentioned earlier. I watch alot of movies using xine and with dri enabled it locks up once in a while
good luck
