Hello to everyone that responded. |
| 14 |
I must have gotten my wires crossed. |
| 15 |
I did have a helluva time initially getting |
| 16 |
ati-drivers 35.x to work in January. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
this time I was able to 'emerge ati-drivers' |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and version '8.37.6-r1' worked. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'm not sure I had to but after emerging the ati-drivers |
| 23 |
package I ran these commands: |
| 24 |
update-modules |
| 25 |
eselect opengl set ati |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
then I just rebooted and all is fine. Some of these steps |
| 28 |
may not have been required, but it's working with the updates. |

Part of my problem last January was due to the x1900xt card |
| 31 |
I purchased being somewhat new. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
thanks again for the help. |
