For your graphics card, install this firmware package: |
21 |
|
22 |
x11-drivers/radeon-ucode |
23 |
|
24 |
Then, enable the following options in your kernel configuration (the |
25 |
usual "make menuconfig" deal): |
26 |
|
27 |
Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> |
28 |
<*> Direct Rendering Manager -> |
29 |
<*> ATI Radeon |
30 |
[*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default |
31 |
|
32 |
In the "Support for frame buffer devices" section, make sure that all |
33 |
other drivers (including the VESA one) are disabled, or else its going |
34 |
to conflict with the Radeon modesetting driver. |
35 |
|
36 |
In your /etc/make.conf, use this: |
37 |
|
38 |
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r600" |
39 |
|
40 |
Now for your sound card. According to your mainboard's specs: |
41 |
|
42 |
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2/M2AMX/#specifications |
43 |
|
44 |
It has an ALC662 audio chip. That chip is made by Realtek. So in your |
45 |
kernel config, enable: |
46 |
|
47 |
Device Drivers -> <*> Sound card support -> |
48 |
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture -> |
49 |
[*] PCI sound devices -> <*> Intel HD Audio -> |
50 |
[*] Build Realtek HD-audio codec support |
51 |
|
52 |
Now build your new kernel (make) and install it (make modules_install && |
53 |
make install). Make sure Grub is set up to boot from it next time |
54 |
(don't reboot yet.) |
55 |
|
56 |
Since above you changed your VIDEO_CARDS variable in make.conf, you can |
57 |
now do: |
58 |
|
59 |
emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y world |
60 |
|
61 |
and it will automatically install the correct X.Org driver (which should |
62 |
be "x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati" and will be installed automatically as a |
63 |
dependency). |
64 |
|
65 |
After you've done the above, make sure that you do *not* have an |
66 |
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file. If you have one, delete it (feel free to back |
67 |
it up first.) Also make sure you don't have files in the |
68 |
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory that try to configure your graphics card. |
69 |
|
70 |
Now reboot and you should have working 3D acceleration with KMS and DRI2 |
71 |
and sound. |
72 |
|
73 |
If everything works OK, you can now do: |
74 |
|
75 |
emerge -a --depclean |
76 |
|
77 |
in order to uninstall any old, unneeded drivers and deps. |
