I=20 have a Radeon 9800 SE and use a 2.6.10 kernel, but of late I've noticed=20 that this combo fares badly if I don't actually start up with the vesa=20 drivers before re-emerging the ati-drivers (as opposed to starting up=20 with the old version of fglrx, which won't load from modules.autoload.d, = but will kinda half run in some weird fashion using MESA if I start X). Of course, all is normal after (yet another) reboot, as long as there=20 were no "DRM driver not built" errors during the ati-drivers compile=20 (lately there have in fact been other warning errors, but the module is=20 in fact built and works fairly well). Also, what version of the ati-drivers are you using? Most of them are=20 flakey, but some versions are flakier than others. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
