But: |
16 |
i) as to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers |
17 |
there is a third choise: CONFIG_DRM=n and emerge x11-drm; |
18 |
ii) in http://www.ati.com/products/catalyst/linux.html: |
19 |
Q7: What X-Windows versions are supported in this driver? |
20 |
A7: Driver packages are available for XFree86 versions 4.1, 4.2, and |
21 |
4.3, as well as X.Org 6.8. |
22 |
So they shouldn't work with Xorg 7.* (actually I had DRI working with |
23 |
Xorg 6.8....) |

But the kernel drm and x11-drm look as they are not to work together. |

But I just can select "ATI radeon" if I select kernel drm: |
37 |
|
38 |
<M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) |
39 |
<M> ATI Radeon |
40 |
|
41 |
I do net get ati-agp compiled, and ... make modules should not be |
42 |
needed for kernels 2.6.* ;-) |
43 |
|
44 |
I'm a bit confused..... |
