Not remove of course, but just rename it to a backup file. Then go on with ati-config --initial. It could mourn about a missing X.conf, but I think it should really make one up, no matter if there's already one or not. Running ati-config --initial on any unclean xorg.conf could really make a mess out of it anyways (multiple Server/Device/Monitor entries... that can be quite a nuisance to get rid of!). If you need any OpenGL-stuff (quite a chance you do...) this can be discussed later on. Let's first get it to work at all :) Regards, Aleks PS: that's like the standard ritual for being accepted as someone familiar with the basics of Linux: going to xorg.conf hell... once you get used to it, it's easy. If you experience any trouble you could as well just post it here, so we can have a look at it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
