Fellow Gentooers, |

although I am very happy running a Gentoo box, sometimes I bump into some |
| 4 |
difficulties, esp. when updating packages. This time I am having a hard |
| 5 |
time reconfiguring my video card, which was fine but is not anymore after |
| 6 |
the last system update I've made. Gnome session goes up as usual but the |
| 7 |
resolution is not fine and monitor complains about not being in the |
| 8 |
recommended mode. |

My video driver is an ATI Radeon 9600 (RV350) and somebody has already |
| 11 |
updated the section on the Gentoo wiki |
| 12 |
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Radeon#Kernels_.3E.3D3.0.0 informing that |
| 13 |
there might be incompatibilities concerning the RV350 firmware. I just |
| 14 |
don't have enough understanding of the video related parts of the system to |
| 15 |
tweak and fix this issue. How should I proceed when I have a problem of |
| 16 |
this sort? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
How do I know what is the video backend in my system? Is Xorg the only one |
| 19 |
possible? What can I do to fix this problem? |
| 20 |
