This driver is NOT working with my card. Perhaps I need to wipe out all the files (which ones?) or something and re-install it again, but I guarantee it's doing exactly as I said it is. Black screen when X starts. I'm curious if you have XGL working with it. I had it working in Ubuntu prior to the current release which broke it (I tripple boot). So I know the card is cabable of it. I just never got it working in Gentoo. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
