1 When I was using kernel 2.6.12 all was fine with these configuration
2 options:
3
4 <M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
5 < > ALI chipset support
6 < > ATI chipset support
7 < > AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support
8 < > AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support
9 <M> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
10 < > NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support
11 < > SiS chipset support
12 < > Serverworks LE/HE chipset support
13 < > VIA chipset support
14 < > Transmeta Efficeon support
15 <M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
16 < > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+ (NEW)
17 < > ATI Rage 128 (NEW)
18 <M> ATI Radeon
19 < > Intel I810 (NEW)
20 < > Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
21 < > Matrox g200/g400 (NEW)
22 < > SiS video cards (NEW)
23
24 When I compiled kernel 2.6.13 the AGP support was not recognized anymore
25 after "modprobe agpgart" or "insmod agpgart" followed by chipset module;
26 I was still
27 not using x11-drm package or ati-drivers.
28
29
30 Trying to install ati-drivers I found that my card was not supported...
31 (P.S. after unmerging the package I had to issue the command
32 opengl-update xorg-x11
33 to switch back to Mesa opengl, otherwise the simple command "glxinfo"
34 will exit with errors...)
35
36
37 Trying to install x11-drm I had to disable the following options in the
38 kernel:
39
40 < > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
41 < > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+ (NEW)
42 < > ATI Rage 128 (NEW)
43 < > ATI Radeon
44 < > Intel I810 (NEW)
45 < > Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
46 < > Matrox g200/g400 (NEW)
47 < > SiS video cards (NEW)
48
49 and I had to setup the variable
50 VIDEO_CARDS="radeon"
51 in /etc/make.conf to compile the package.
52
53 After a correct compilation of kernel and x11-drm, DRI was not running yet!
54 I tried this options in the kernel:
55
56 <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
57 < > ALI chipset support
58 < > ATI chipset support
59 < > AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support
60 < > AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support
61 <*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support
62 < > NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support
63 < > SiS chipset support
64 < > Serverworks LE/HE chipset support
65 < > VIA chipset support
66 < > Transmeta Efficeon support
67 < > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
68 < > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+ (NEW)
69 < > ATI Rage 128 (NEW)
70 < > ATI Radeon
71 < > Intel I810 (NEW)
72 < > Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G
73 < > Matrox g200/g400 (NEW)
74 < > SiS video cards (NEW)
75
76 and all was fine... Direct Rendering up and running!
