That could be your problem tho since it changed the problem. Did you |
| 54 |
notice any warnings about not working with your card when you emerged |
| 55 |
the drivers? It will warn you if it doesn't like your card but it still |
| 56 |
emerges anyway. This was discussed a couple weeks ago in another thread. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I would start with the stable 177, then try the 173 set, then 100 and on |
| 59 |
down the line. One of those should work. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Also, you may want to save a copy of xorg.conf and rerun xorgcfg and see |
| 62 |
if that helps. There have been changes according to what I have read |
| 63 |
and most stuff isn't even needed anymore. Just a thought. |
