The vesa is nice to have as a fallback. > 01:00.0 0300: 1106:3108 (rev 01) > Subsystem: 1849:3108 An ASRock board with a K8M800. Too bad, 3D acceleration won't work: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5092 If you're content with how things are working now and don't intend to use 3D apps like Blender or ppracer, then you're done. But if you would like to have at least the rudiments of 3D acceleration, then grep your kernel .config file for AGP and DRM and check that the following are set, and only these (to y or to m): CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_VIA=y You can set them under Device Drivers > Character Devices. Store your current Xorg.0.log, then reboot with the new kernel and diff the old Xorg log with the new one to see what has changed. When it works, you can try adding 'Option "EnableAGPDMA"' to 'Section "Device"' in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to gain just a bit more responsiveness. Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
