Hi everybody |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I currently have xorg 7.2 on a 2.6.20-r7 kernel. Can't get any of the |
| 4 |
binary drivers to work |
| 5 |
on my Radeon 9200 PRO card (as you might have read in previous posts), |
| 6 |
but the open |
| 7 |
source drivers works with a little tweaking of xorg.conf. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I use the hardend profil. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I had the following enabled in my kernel when I tried the binary drivers |
| 12 |
from ati: |
| 13 |
Device Drivers ---> |
| 14 |
Character devices ---> |
| 15 |
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) |
| 16 |
Graphics support ---> |
| 17 |
<*> Support for frame buffer devices |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I have the following settings in my make.conf: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
USE="gtk gnome alsa hal avahi bash-completion" |
| 22 |
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" |
| 23 |
VIDEO_CARDS="savage radeon fglrx" |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
and this line added in my /etc/portage/package.keywords: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~x86 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
With above settings I'm allowed to install version 8.35.5 of the ati driver. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
But aticonfig can't generate a xorg file for me so I'm unable to start x, as |
| 32 |
I haven't been able to configure xorg manually with the binary driver. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Just thought I would share.. |
