15 Apparently ati-drivers-8.29.6 does not support the Radeon 9200. You
16 should probably use the opensource 'radeon' driver instead. Replace
17 fglrx with radeon in VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/make.conf, and "emerge
18 --oneshot xorg-server". That should bring in xf86-video-ati, and you
19 can then replace the fglrx driver in xorg.conf with radeon.

21 FYI, the radeon driver offers full 3D support for the 9200 if you
22 enable the right kernel drivers also.
