UPDATE: did a sync and was able to emerge the new |
59 |
ati-drivers. This time fglrx.ko *was* generated and is |
60 |
loaded at boot. But now I get |
61 |
|
62 |
$startx |
63 |
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance |
64 |
(BusID PCI:1:0:1) found # faq says ignore |
65 |
(EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error |
66 |
"xf86_ENODEV" |
67 |
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP |
68 |
Could not init font path element |
69 |
/usr/share/fonts/local/, removing from list! |
70 |
|
71 |
The fix according to the faq: I need to clean up the |
72 |
sources make oldconfig etc, re-emerge the drivers. |
73 |
|
74 |
WRONG :( |
