Did you try the Xorg "radeon" driver? (think its part of
xf86-video-ati). You want to unmerge ati-drivers if they have proved
unstable (no surprise there...)
I'm very interested as I've been using a 9550 with HW accel enabled +
Xorg (6.9) with the radeon driver in FreeBSD 6 without any problems at
all. This encourages me to think they should work in Gentoo as
well...(crosses fingers) as I'm in the process of building my mother a
machine running Gentoo and have one of these (a 9200) lying around and
am intending to use it....
Cheers
Mark
