1 I just did an emerge on Xorgautoconfig and ran the command, but the
2 xorg.conf file it makes doesn't work - it tells me that ATI(0) Adapter has
3 not been initialized, and Screen(s) found, but none have a usable
4 configuration.
5
6 It sets Mode 1024x768 at several depths, which I can live with, and default
7 mode of 16, which I can also live with. Now if I could just get it to work
8 ...

10 Thanks!
