Hi Walter,
I'm setting up the same thing, although I used the 64-bit Gentoo
install CD. Why are you using 32-bit?
As for the ATI driver I set it up quickly today using the radeon
driver from xorg-x11. I've got an Asus PCI-E 16x card. It worked fine
the first time at 1280x1024 at 16-bit. The ati-driver package
installed fine but I'm unsure about the /dev/agpgart stuff on this
machine. It seems that the kernel doesn't let me choose those options
with the AMD64 processor so I just stuck with radeon for the short
term.
I haven't set sound up yet. I'll be using an HDSP 9652 card in the
system so that will use the hdsp driver. However I guess there is an
on-board sound chip so I really should set that up too. most likely
it's jsut a normal 2 sound card setup with the motherboard chip using
whatever driver is appropriate, in this case the snd_intel8x0 driver.
However I cannot tell you much more before tomorrow when I take the
RME cards out of the old system and get this up and running.
Cheers,
Mark
