Hey Peter |

Ok I went ahead disable DRM in the Kernel. I emerge the ati drivers. |
| 3 |
it complained about not having the right version of got an error message |
| 4 |
about x11-base/xorg-sever. I emerge that file. Then I emerged the ati |
| 5 |
drivers. I know I tried the echo command before removing the x11-base |
| 6 |
file. The drivers took on the second time but when I try to start KDE I |
| 7 |
get this message |
