I think DRI's broken after installing playonlinux. The reason is that I had glxgears running at over 700 fps in 24 bit mode and and in the 1100 - 1200 range in 16 bit mode. I tried it again today and could only get it in the 60 fps range, which is what it did before I initially got DRI working. I know glxgears isn't a good benchmark, so I tried extremetuxracer and got about 0.6 fps (with graphic options turned way down). This is on a Sony VAIO PCG-NV170 (laptop) with a Pentium 4 1.6 GHz - M processor, 512 MB RAM, and an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 with 16 MB onboard VRAM.
When I type"cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE", it doesn't return any graphics related errors, just one about initialising the mouse for relative axes, though it was already doing that before when it was faster.
If I type"glxinfo | grep direct", I get"direct rendering: Yes".
And, when I type"glxinfo | grep OpenGL", I get:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string 2.1 Mesa 7.7.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
I know Mesa is probably the problem here, I just don't know what to do about it.
Come to think of it, I think I may have done"apt-get upgrade wine" between when it was working and when I noticed it wasn't. I don't remember what all I've done.

I just found this:
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting"
linktext was:"http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriTroubleshooting"
====================================
, which could prove really useful, if I understand it well enough to actually follow the steps.

Have you tried using sgfxi to install/reinstall the drivers?

I used sgfxi -n, and that didn't work. It installed the ati driver though, and I thought the right one for my card was radeon (R100). Right? That's the one I installed when it was running faster; I just don't remember how I installed it. It was another script.

Well, it's REALLY broken now. I tried to reinstall the radeon driver by doing:
apt-get intall xserver-xorg-video-radeon
But, apparently it depends on a specific version of a couple packages I already had installed (not the right versions), so I removed them thinking installing xserver-xorg-video-radeon would reinstall them as well, no harm done. I was wrong. I get no video at all past the slim (login) screen, even though my computer is obviously turned on. I can chroot into it with the live cd, but I don't know what to install.

It might just be quicker and easier to re-install if you haven't added too much.
What sources.list are you using? Post /etc/apt/sources.list

The lenny repos shouldn't be used.
