Note to self: direct rendering on G33

If you cannot find out why oh why the Xorg server refuses to play nice and enable direct rendering, remember to check if libgl1-mesa-dri is installed...

So I'm almost there, installing debian on the G33 motherboard (an intel DG33TL) was non-trivial (I'll file a di bug soon), but now the advantages are becoming clear: the video is quite fast, very clear (DVI output) and the Q6600 cpu is just too fast.

Now to restore my backups and I'm back in the game!

I have also a intel DG33TL mainboard and couldn't install Debian (neither Etch nor Lenny).

How have you managed to install Debian?
