Hi, |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I have the same video card as yours (ATI 9600 RV350) on my old laptop and |
| 39 |
tried the new driver by enabling "modesetting on radeon by default". |
| 40 |
Device Drivers -> Graphic support -> Direct Rendering Manager (y) -> ATI |
| 41 |
Radeon (y) -> Enable Modesetting on radeon by default (y). |
| 42 |
I installed the sys-kernel/linux-firmware package, and enabled include |
| 43 |
in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary |
| 44 |
Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> include in-kernel firmware |
| 45 |
blobs in kernel binary (y) |
| 46 |
I let empty "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary". |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
It did not work until i disabled ALL the drivers in "Support for frame |
| 49 |
buffer devices". |
| 50 |
Device Drivers -> Graphic support -> Support for frame buffer devices. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
I hope that will help. |
