Hi Francisco |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Thanks for the help so far...but it still dos not play nicly.... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
According to 'lspci' my graphic card is: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] |
| 37 |
(rev 01) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
and according to: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon-prer200.html |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I should then be using version 8.28.8 of the driver. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I have tried coping both the 8.28.8 and the 8.36.5 to my dist folder and |
| 46 |
tried to run emerge: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
emerge -va ati-drivers |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
but it only suggests the 8.32.5 version, which as previously mentioned, |
| 51 |
dos not work. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Am I missing to parameters to emerge or? |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
I have tried to compiled ati support directly in to my kernel... this |
| 56 |
did not work |
| 57 |
I have tried to compile ati support as modules for my kernel... this did |
| 58 |
not work |
| 59 |
I have tried to add framebuffer support in the kernel with support for |
| 60 |
ati.... this allows me to start x but everything is running real slow |
| 61 |
and I experience clipping when I move around windows. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Any pointers? |
| 64 |
