open source ATI driver with Radeon HD 5470

[Stefano Facchini]

Hi,
I have followed the instructions in
http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo to build the latest ATI driver
and Mesa. I succeeded in build and install everything. However, with

   glxinfo | grep OpenGL

I still get

   OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

so 3d hardware acceleration is disabled. Is this a problem of my video
card Radeon HD 5470? I thought that some 3d support was already
enabled with the open source driver (see
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_evergreen_3d&num=1).
Has someone any suggestion?

bye
Stefano
