For Radeons thru the 9250, you probably don't want ati-drivers, but the |
| 15 |
native xorg drivers, which have full support incl. 3D thru the 9250s. I |
| 16 |
know for a fact the xorg native drivers work, on the 9200s as that's what |
| 17 |
I'm using here. Among other things, using the native drivers you'll no |
| 18 |
longer have to wait on ATI to update its proprietaryware drivers every |
| 19 |
time the xorg abi changes, since the xorg drivers are naturally synced for |
| 20 |
every release. |

As for the drm issue, I just use the in-kernel versions, so don't have |
| 23 |
the out-of-kernel x11-drm merged at all. That solves that problem. |
| 24 |
However, one thing you need to be sure of if you do choose to use the |
| 25 |
separate x11-drm, is not only that the /usr/src/linux symlink is correct, |
| 26 |
but that you've actually built that kernel. If you haven't, some of the |
| 27 |
necessary config files that the out-of-kernel modules use simply won't be |
| 28 |
there. I suspect that's what the problem is in your case. |
