[ODE] DRI Problems with ODE

I've installed ODE 0.035 and the testfiles worked proper but very slowly.
Than I activated the direct rendering, and testfiles didn't work any longer.
I've an ATI Radeon 7500 Graphic Card and Suse Linux 8.1.
So I read through the DRI User Guides and all settings were right except 
one thing:

On the User Guide they wrote:

You may also double check that libGL.so is in fact DRI-capable. Run 
strings libGL.so.1.2 | grep DRI and look for symbols prefixed with 
"XF86DRI", such as "XF86DRIQueryExtension".

first I only found the libGL.so.1 in /usr/lib, and my result was:

...
XFree86-DRI
LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH
LIBGL_DRIVERS_DIR
XF86DRIQueryExtension failed
XF86DRIQueryVersion failed
XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable returned false
XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable failed
XF86DRIGetClientDriverName failed
XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: %d.%d.%d %s (screen %d)

I think that's the error, why the testfiles doesn't work.

Has anybody an idea, how I could solve this problem?
