I would like then to try the opensource (R300) driver, since this also supports the AIGLX extensions (at least i think, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX). However: 1) i don't understand if these opensource drivers are actually in the Xorg tree or i have to use an external CVS repository (from http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20061009-newsletter.xml it seems they are in the stable tree); 2) if with these drivers the DRI can be enabled or not; 3) if there exists a definitive howto to help users install these drivers (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers is updated?); Thanks to all, Marco -- gentoo-laptop@gentoo.org mailing list
