[gentoo-user] ati-drivers + DRM anybody?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

has anybody had success with ati-drivers + DRM ?

(Without DRM ,i.e. 2.6.31-gentoo-r2 w/o DRM + x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.9-r2
 works just fine.)

I have the  2.6.31-r2 kernel with 
  devices-drivers/Graphic support/Direct Rendering Manager/ATI Radeon
  (I have an ATI Radeon HD 3300 onboard graphics chip)

x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.9-r2

but this fails. 

What am I missing, or isn't it assumed to work?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

it does not work. It never did and it won't work in the near future. You try 
to have two drivers for the same hardware - that naver works.

So, how to get 3D acceleration?
Thanks,
Helmut.

ati-drivers don't need kernel dri for 3d acceleration. Just emerge the 
drivers, set up xorg.conf to load it - or run aticonfig --initial, eselect 
opengl set ati and you are done.

Pretty much as described as in the guide.
