Be careful with it being something being alright and legit "for you" |
| 9 |
because it is just YOUR opinion. Millions of lives have been lost and |
| 10 |
enslaved because of someones opinion, it's called ignorance it's |
| 11 |
devastating effect has been demonstrated in the past. in many |
| 12 |
countries. I think you know what I'm talking about. |

Back to our regularly scheduled program. I run a 9800 non pro, but |
| 15 |
still not supported by the open source drivers. When I upgraded to the |
| 16 |
2.6.11 kernel I had the same problem. emerged the new kernel with the |
| 17 |
symlinks flag so /usr/src/linux points to the new kernel. Then |
| 18 |
recompiled the kernel (make && make modules_install && make install) |
| 19 |
then reemerged the ati-drivers and ran the opengl-update ati (not sure |
| 20 |
if this is the right name) program |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So here is how a fixed a similar problem: |
| 23 |
1) emerge new kernel with USe="symlink" or symlink manually |
| 24 |
2) compile and install kernel |
| 25 |
3) emerge ati-drivers |
| 26 |
4) opengl-update ati |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Not sure if this will work but hope it helps. Oh I think the problem I |
| 29 |
was having is that the new kernel didn't have the ati modules |
| 30 |
installed, they were installed for the old kernel. Wanna know Irony? I |
| 31 |
originally bought ATI for HL2 and cause Nvidia was slipping a little |
| 32 |
according reviews. Plus I was running windows at the time, btw ati |
| 33 |
drivers still sucked in windows IMO. So now I try to run HL2 through |
| 34 |
cedega and now ati can't run pixel shaders with HL2... irony. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
hope it helps. |
