I'm not aware of having done anything to specify "ati", so I don't know how to stop it. My focus on ati-drivers came from the fact that portage really wants to compile it. I'm not sure how it knows I have ATI, not for instance an Nvidia adapter -- probably something I did in 2002 when I first installed gentoo. BTW: video is an integrated ATI Rage XL on the motherboard, so it's a tad o= ld. When I run aticonfig --initial, it says aticonfig: No supported adapters detected So I tried putting the driver in xorg.conf, and using a modified version of what worked with the old server, arrived at Section "Device" Identifier "ati-internal" Driver "fglrx" EndSection RESULTS: fglrx loads, but does not see the adapter. There's also a problem with the mouse driver -- some undefined symbol. Not seeing the adapter scares me a bit. Could it be that my system is no longer supported?
