Yes, more info is definitely needed. What is your video card? If you
have an nVidia or ATI card, you may still be using the VESA drivers
(often used as the default until the user installs the proprietary
closed-source manufacturer drivers), which do not enable 3D hardware
acceleration (which is OpenGL and DGA). I have an ATI card, and I did
notice that even under VESA, glx et al were still listed as modules to
be loaded in XF86Config-4, so the fact that it is there is not proof
that it's actually working.
Can you look further in the XF86Config(-4) file and tell us which driver
your videocard is using?
Hope this helps,
