Any ideas? I use ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1. It's the lastest masked version - maybe only such recent aticonfig knows the option. Anyway, the appropriate xorg.conf line is: Option "MaxGARTSize" "128" (in the "Device" section). That reminds me - I use stable gentoo-sources and when trying to emerge the latest stable ati-drivers, the fglrx.ko module doesn't get correctly compiled. I.e. the emerge process won't fail and stop to emphasize a fatal error. Check if you can 'modprobe fglrx'. I only succeed with the latest masked ati-drivers. -Roman -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
