Watch out, or you'll end up as a case for the Scary Devil Monastery. |

I've probably already reached this point. :) |

The Xorg-Server version 1.3 is still in the testing branch, so you |
20 |
might do better with the following command: |
21 |
|
22 |
VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx" emerge -va =x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 |
23 |
|
24 |
Then follow the already given instructions, i.e. install the version of |
25 |
the driver ATI recommends |
26 |
|
27 |
emerge -C ati-drivers && emerge -va =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 |
28 |
|
29 |
and then remove your xorg.conf. Not remove of course, but just rename |
30 |
it to a backup file. Then go on with ati-config --initial. It could |
31 |
mourn about a missing X.conf, but I think it should really make one up, |
32 |
no matter if there's already one or not. Running ati-config --initial |
33 |
on any unclean xorg.conf could really make a mess out of it anyways |
34 |
(multiple Server/Device/Monitor entries... that can be quite a nuisance |
35 |
to get rid of!). |
36 |
|
37 |
If you need any OpenGL-stuff (quite a chance you do...) this can be |
38 |
discussed later on. Let's first get it to work at all :) |

PS: that's like the standard ritual for being accepted as someone |
43 |
familiar with the basics of Linux: going to xorg.conf hell... once you |
44 |
get used to it, it's easy. If you experience any trouble you could as |
45 |
well just post it here, so we can have a look at it. |
