I installed ati driver 8.3 but I can't get direct rendering worked < Solved >

I install the newest ati driver yesterday, 8.3.
I install it on my fc6.
I modified several places in xorg.conf, but I can't get direct rendering.

Here's some info:
Quote:
$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
Quote:
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1300
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.1.7412 Release)
And this is my xorg.conf:

Quote:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "Module"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dbe"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "record"
# Load "extmod"

Load "type1"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "int10"
Load "GLcore"
# Load "extmod" but omit DGA extension (the DGA extension is broken in the fglrx driver)
SubSection "extmod"
# Option "omit XVideo"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"

Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

EndSection

EndSection

Section "Screen"

EndSubSection
EndSection

EndSection

Section "Extensions"

Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"

Will somebody please tell me how to get direct rendering, please?
