Hi Tero, |
| 2 |
I put this off for a long time. |

|
| 4 |
I'm a bit confused about exactly what driver is getting loaded here |
| 5 |
and how it got built. When I set VIDEO_CARDS="mach64" I did not get a |
| 6 |
driver called 'ati' but I did get a driver called 'mach64'. I am |
| 7 |
currently loading the following drivers: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
godzilla ~ # lsmod |
| 10 |
Module Size Used by |
| 11 |
<SNIP> |
| 12 |
mach64 53952 0 |
| 13 |
drm 65304 1 mach64 |
| 14 |
agpgart 29384 2 via_agp,drm |
| 15 |
godzilla ~ # |
| 16 |
This gets me to the point where I have no errors in |
| 17 |
=/var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I do have warnings. I think that doesn't |
| 18 |
matter until I get the drivers straightened up though. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I presume this is the ATI driver that normally comes with xorg-x11 |
| 21 |
is it not? If so how do I get both it and the mach64 driver built? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I hope I'm not totally missing your point. Sorry if I'm being dense. |

With best regards, |
| 26 |
