I've got a brand new AMD64, which I'm installing 32-bit Gentoo on. |
| 2 |
When setting up a system figuring out which drivers to build, my options |
| 3 |
are... |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Plan A) Boot Gentoo install CD and run "lsmod" to see which modules |
| 6 |
are loaded, so I know what to use. If The Gentoo install CD can't |
| 7 |
recognize some devices... |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Plan B) Post a message to the Gentoo list asking for help<g>. The two |
| 10 |
devices are... |
| 11 |
1) ATI PowerColor X300 SE video card |
| 12 |
2) Sound chip |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Which drivers do I use? "lspci -v" shows the following. Note two |
| 15 |
entries for the video card! |
