Re: [gentoo-amd64] Ethereal and KDE

[Mark Haney]

I've not tried 3D accel, however, I am able to get the default 1280X800 
resolution with this config.  I have a bookmarked URL that walks you 
through the setup of the ATI drivers.  If I can find, I'll post.  I used 
the Linux proprietary ATI drivers from the ATI website (the RPM version 
is the only one available) the ran RPM2TGZ to convert to a tarball and 
extracted and ran the fglrxconfig and slightly modified the xorg.conf 
that is generated.  Note in the attached file the 'MODELINE' line that I 
added.  That's what works to get the resolution.  I make no promises 
with 3D as I don't use my system for it.

As for sound, I suggest building the kernel with the ATI IXP sound 
module builtin.  That was all I needed to do other than tweak alsa's 
settings a bit.

For Ethereal, I can't get the GUI to even open up.  I can use tethereal, 
but I'd prefer the GUI since I'm analyzing packets from another system 
and don't want to have to boot into Fedora or (gasp!) XP just to view 
the capture file.

HTH.
