With X.Org 7.0, you will need to install an ati-drivers package that |
| 7 |
supports modular X. I did a quick grep and came up with this: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
$ grep xorg-server ati-drivers-* -l |
| 10 |
ati-drivers-8.20.8.ebuild |
| 11 |
ati-drivers-8.21.7.ebuild |
| 12 |
ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1.ebuild |
| 13 |
ati-drivers-8.22.5.ebuild |
| 14 |
ati-drivers-8.23.7.ebuild |
| 15 |
ati-drivers-8.24.8.ebuild |
| 16 |
ati-drivers-8.25.18.ebuild |
| 17 |
ati-drivers-8.26.18.ebuild |
| 18 |
|

If one of those is already installed, you will need to reinstall it to |
| 20 |
get the correct, dlloader-using drivers. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
There should be no kernel requirement from X.Org, any kernel requirement |
| 23 |
will be by ati-drivers. |
