( i am asking as i have installed BLAG Linux for now,so that i can communicate with you folks, i have to reinstall Gentoo to try that) > you may use a different set of drivers of course. See google on these > for more info :) i tried google. it confused me even more. what is DRI & OpenGL replacing X window system? what does "mesa" has to do with "DRI" & why ATI RADEON search opens the links to AMD web-site & then they show me something like AMD 9600 series for Linux x86_64 ? ? -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ Linux registered user #439610 http://counter.li.org/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
