23 For the record I did the following:
24
25 1. Recompile kernel
26 2. Re emerge Xorg (deep with new use flags):
27 emerge -DvatN xorg-x11
28 3. Remerge the ati drivers again
29 emerge -av x11-drivers/ati-drivers
30 emerge -av x11-apps/ati-drivers-extra
31
32 etc-update
33 source /etc/profile
34 eselect opengl set ati
35 modprobe fglrx
36 startx
