Last time I reinstalled gentoo, I tried kms too (with my Radeon HD2600 |
| 11 |
card). And I had lots of problems with it - in combination with |
| 12 |
ati-drivers fglrx module (blank on boot, freeze while starting X, |
| 13 |
generell crashes and kernel panics, low performence...,...). So I |
| 14 |
finally decided not to use kms disable everything related to kms. Since |
| 15 |
then everything is running smoothly. Two weeks ago, I purchased an new |
| 16 |
video card (Radeon HD7770) and gave kms another shot. And again, |
| 17 |
everything went down the crapper. So disabled it. I can live without it |
| 18 |
for the time being. But still, I would be interested in the "why?". |
