Video on my laptop Toshiba Satellite 1710CDS 600 mhz with ati Mobility C card is REALLY slow. How can I get this to improve. Here is the glxinfo:

First thing I notice is:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No

So question #1: What is XFRee86-DRI and how do I get it to be not missing.
Next, direct rendering: No I think means I have no video acceleration active. How do I get it working?

Here is excerpt from XF86Config-4 config:
Code:
Section "Device"
 ### Available Driver options are:-
# sw_cursor is needed for some ati and radeon cards
Option "sw_cursor"
        #Option     "hw_cursor"
        #Option     "NoAccel"
        #Option     "ShowCache"
        #Option     "ShadowFB"
        #Option     "UseFBDev"
        #Option     "Rotate"
#Added by CrashedAgain:
 Option "DPMS"
 Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
 
 Identifier  "Card0"
# The following line is auto-generated by KNOPPIX mkxf86config
 Driver      "ati"
 VendorName  "All"
 BoardName   "All"
# BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Screen0"
 Device     "Card0"
 Monitor    "Monitor0"
 DefaultColorDepth 16
The 'No off screen pixmaps' was added because without it I got squiggly lines all over the screen. Details of this fix here: http://linuxwiki.de/KDE/i810Bug
