Hi Francisco

Thanks for the help so far...but it still dos not play nicly....

According to 'lspci' my graphic card is:

VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]
(rev 01)

and according to:

http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html

I should then  be using version 8.28.8 of the driver.

I have tried coping both the 8.28.8 and the 8.36.5 to my dist folder and
tried to run emerge:

emerge -va ati-drivers

but it only suggests the 8.32.5 version, which as previously mentioned,
dos not work.

Am I missing to parameters to emerge or?

I have tried to compiled ati support directly in to my kernel... this
did not work
I have tried to compile ati support as modules for my kernel... this did
not work
I have tried to add framebuffer support in the kernel with support for
ati.... this allows me to start x but everything is running real slow
and I experience clipping when I move around windows.

Any pointers?

Joe
