Re: [gentoo-user] Distorted Mirroed Overlapping screen with ATI Rage card

[Christopher Lemire]

After using a modified version of this:
http://www.baltimoremick.com/blog/2008/08/25/dell-latitude-c800-display-problems-with-ubuntu/

For some reason, it says Driver "ati". I changed that to r128 and a few
other things in there.

Then, I emerged emerge -av x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128

And the picture is beautiful, crystal clear. Now if I could figure out why
my framebuffer goes to a black screen. I had it working. The only change I
made was recompiling the kernel with a 3Com driver for my ethernet. So now,
the only way is to type my username and password without seeing a thing,
then startx or login through ssh. Please help me to get the framebuffer
working. Thank you.

.config (I double checked it this time)
