r370 is the chipset on the card, r300 is the (experimental) DRI driver |
| 9 |
that would be supporting it. |

Set VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" or USE="video_cards_radeon", and emerge -N |
| 16 |
xorg-x11. Worked for me (Radeon 9600 XT) as of the first X -configure |
| 17 |
run, with no additional messing about. The driver name is "radeon" if |
| 18 |
you like to do xorg.conf by hand. |

Disclaimer: The DRI functionality is still experimental. Some functions |
| 21 |
(specular lighting in particular) don't behave exactly as expected. For |
| 22 |
example, a couple of XScreensaver hacks don't work quite right for me. |
| 23 |
Still a darn sight better than software, though... ;) |
