Re: [gentoo-user] Getting direct rendering (DRI) to work with ATI 9550 video card

[John Lange <john.lange@open-it.ca>]

Thanks for the reply Holly.

Symlinks are as follows:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root      22 Apr  9 08:47 linux -> linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r3
drwxr-xr-x  19 root root    4096 Sep  2 08:54 linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r3


I've re-emerged the ati drivers several times but can't hurt to do it
again... Following is the output.

I previously had an nvidia card installed (and working great I might
add). Could there be any left over flags in a portage config file
someplace that might be screwing things up?

I'm a Linux veteran but new to Gentoo/Portage so I'm still a bit lost as
to where everything goes that effects compiling...

Here is the emerge output for the ati-drivers:
