I made the changes above, and added the fbdev entry to VIDEO_CARDS from |
| 21 |
Nikos' e-mail. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I also added fglrx to my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It's a bit overkill but next I did emerge -Dav system and emerge -Dav |
| 26 |
world before running emerge -NDuav system and emerge -NDuav world. |

I rebooted the machine, ran startx and it looks like success. |
| 29 |
I reinstalled xdm to the default runlevel, and I have a working graphics |
| 30 |
card. Thanks all for the advice. |

There are a couple of issues: |
| 33 |
(1) Even though the resolution is set to 1920 x 1080, it appears to be |
| 34 |
scaled so that it doesn't fill the entire screen. It is scaled to about |
| 35 |
90% for some reason. |
| 36 |
(2) Compositing is not supported as it stands. I may need to switch |
| 37 |
that on in xorg.conf. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Does anyone know how to fix the scaling issue or whether it is advisable |
| 40 |
should turn on compositing in xorg.conf? |
