load drm and radeon modules if xorg isn't capable of automatically loading |
| 19 |
them) you should be on the right driver/kernel modules. maybe with the next |
| 20 |
2.6.30 some radeon modesetting and gallium work would hit the kernel tree |
| 21 |
and then would be better to build the kernel modules, but for the moment the |
| 22 |
work is going in the mesa libdrm branches, which gentoo splits in libdrm and |
| 23 |
x11-drm. these 2 packages are a must for the xf86-video-ati or |
| 24 |
xf86-video-radeonhd to work in the proper way, at least until kms and |
| 25 |
gallium work won't hit mesa (it seems to be in the near future). |
