Subject: [gentoo-user] ATI radeon problems

1 Hi all,
2
3 I have two major problems with my 9600 ATI (RV350) graphic card
4
5 - With the free radeon driver (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.1-r1) :
6 After few minutes, while emerging or working with some software (Gimp),
7 %CPU increases and then X completely freezes. Then reset... :-(
8
9 - The proprietary ATI driver (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.582) can't
10 compile with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r4.
11 It asks me to set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y in the kernel config.
12 But there is no CONFIG_PCI_MSI line in the .config !!!
13
14 Any idea that would help me ?
15 Thank you very much,
16
