Hello, |
| 2 |
|

As I seem to have a natural ability to not find the best |
| 4 |
/(most accurate) information regarding video cards and drivers, |
| 5 |
I thought I'd ask here. |
| 6 |
|

I just inherited a new friend (with a gentoo) system |
| 9 |
that has this entry in the make.conf file: |
| 10 |
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon vesa" |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
lspci shows this: |
| 14 |
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc |
| 15 |
RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So I'm thinking of switching the machine to the ati-drivers. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Are there any other options? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I do not see a radeon driver (using eix radeon) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
so I guess the choices are ati-drivers or vesa? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I think the system is running on a vesa driver, although |
| 27 |
I do not really know the command syntax to discern |
| 28 |
exactly which video driver the system is using. |

Any suggestions are welcome. |
