I also cant emerge ati-drivers > since it conflicts with xorg-x11. > I have an Ati Radeon 9200 For Radeons thru the 9250, you probably don't want ati-drivers, but the native xorg drivers, which have full support incl. 3D thru the 9250s. I know for a fact the xorg native drivers work, on the 9200s as that's what I'm using here. Among other things, using the native drivers you'll no longer have to wait on ATI to update its proprietaryware drivers every time the xorg abi changes, since the xorg drivers are naturally synced for every release. As for the drm issue, I just use the in-kernel versions, so don't have the out-of-kernel x11-drm merged at all. That solves that problem. However, one thing you need to be sure of if you do choose to use the separate x11-drm, is not only that the /usr/src/linux symlink is correct, but that you've actually built that kernel. If you haven't, some of the necessary config files that the out-of-kernel modules use simply won't be there. I suspect that's what the problem is in your case. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
