[gentoo-user] 3D Acceleration With Laptop - Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP

[Drew Tomlinson <drew@mykitchentable.net>]

I have a laptop with  ATI integrated graphics.  lspci shows the graphics 
card as:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon 
Xpress 1100 IGP]

I have been unsuccessful in getting X configured to work with this card 
with dri enabled.  I followed the guides at:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml

and I've also Googled for a week with no success.  With the x11 drivers 
installed, I get this error message when starting X:

(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

I've emerged ati-drivers and set make.conf to include the fglrx driver 
as suggested in the ATI guide.  However when loading the fglrx.ko 
module, I get an error about "...taints the kernel".  Thus I suspect I 
have some option set in my kernel that conflicts with the fglrx module?

I'm at a loss.  Can some kind soul please point me in the right 
direction toward the steps needed to get 3D acceleration on my laptop?  
Should I be using x11 or ATI drivers?  And if ATI drivers, any idea what 
is might be conflicting in my kernel?

Thanks,

Drew
