58 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 :(
