In your case you have probably configured xorg to use the ati-drivers (fglrx). It is a good idea to have the vesa driver handy in case something breaks after an update. It allows you to configure a slow but mostly working X11. > I'm still using an older kernel, (2.6.18-gentoo-r6) > so any advice on kernel versions or options to use with this video=20 > card are welcome. =46rom what I remember from bugs.gentoo.org, 2.6.19 should work fine with= all recent ati-drivers, whereas 2.6.20 seems to be problematic. > Any advice on which 3D drivers options are now available for this=20 > card or which version of ati-drivers I should install to keep > xorg-server-1.3.0.0 happy are welcome.

Stay away from xorg-server-1.3 and kernel-2.6.20 or later until ATI releases new versions that work with them. -- Remy --------------enig00200BB298D94E785153B198 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGP4Y9CeNfIyhvXjIRAiQrAJ40fyLAQgS9iv47/J+qeTeKPU5IxACcCRsg C0nRBK+ZimezlKtSGn3wKwc= =Jm3f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig00200BB298D94E785153B198-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
