I was trying to follow the guides and figure things out for myself but I |
| 8 |
have not been able to. The guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml) |
| 9 |
says that I need to use the DRI project because the closed source drivers do |
| 10 |
not work with my older card. It also says that the x11-drm ebuild can be |
| 11 |
used or you can change the kernel option for the DRI modules. When I try to |
| 12 |
emerge the x11-drm ebuild it says that 2.6.x kernels cannot use this ebuild. |
| 13 |
2.6 kernel users have to set kernel options. I have been looking around for |
| 14 |
the right options but I cannot find them. Could someone point them out to me |
| 15 |
so I can get this working. I am in the process of going to kernel 2.6.12-r4. |

Thank you. |
