Perhaps someone could be so kind as to update the following section of the Wiki as this would of saved me some grief because the way I read this paragraph it implies that if the wheels in glxgears are turning then my OpenGL is configured correctly for XBMC.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_for...OpenGL_support
I suggest it reads:
==== BEGIN ====
Once you have your drivers in place, you need to make sure that OpenGL is properly configured. Verify the version of OpenGL using the following command:
# glxinfo | grep "GLX version:"
# glxinfo | grep -i direct
The result should be:
==== END ====
Although the Wiki says that anyone can edit it, it appears that only special people are able to do such things.

# glxinfo | grep "GLX version:"
The GLX version must be at least 2.0.
Run the following command to verify that direct rendering is enabled:# glxinfo | grep -i direct
The result should be:
direct rendering: Yes
If the result is "No" it means that the display driver have not been properly configured. Also, you can run the command glxgears and you should see the wheels turning smoothly.==== END ====
