Since you jumped to a complete ~amd64, the easiest solution is to not |
| 26 |
use the ATI 3d drivers (fgrlx) and use radeon only. This limits you to |
| 27 |
2d. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The most realistic fix if you want 3d is to : |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
emerge -C xorg-server |
| 32 |
echo "=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r4 ~amd64" |
| 33 |
>> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 34 |
emerge =x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.2-r4 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
To make a long story short, the ABI was changed in Xorg-server-1.0.99 |
| 37 |
which killed the use of the ATI and NVIDIA produced drivers. Hopefully |
| 38 |
NVIDIA and ATI will update their drivers soon. Here is the forum link: |
