The driver from ati-drivers is "fglrx", not "ati". "ati" doesn't even |
| 13 |
really exist anymore, it's a wrapper between "radeon" and the old |
| 14 |
"mach64" drivers for non-Radeon cards. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
For Radeon cards, there are "fglrx" (in ati-drivers binary package), |
| 17 |
"radeon" (in xf86-video-radeon package) and "radeonhd" (in |
| 18 |
xf86-video-radeonhd package). |

For "fglrx" to be loaded, you *really need* a section for it in |
| 21 |
xorg.conf. It will *never* get auto-loaded. Ever. Either you put that by |
| 22 |
hand in xorg.conf or automatically with aticonfig --initial. If you |
| 23 |
don't, that driver will *never* be loaded. |
