5 Got it! Somewhere around 92% of /var/log/Xorg.94.log, which is logging
6 Xgl, I've found:
7
8 (EE) fglrx(0): Hardware has already been locked.
9 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
10 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0x2000 at 0xb7f7b000
11 (WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
12 (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! *
13 (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
14 (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) *
15 (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available *
16 (WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *

18 Hardware's locked? Do they mean that I can render only one X server
19 simultaneously? They must be kidding...
20
21 And near the end of this file:
22
23 (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
24
25 No doubt about it.
26
27 What's also interesting at the 96th per cent of Xorg.0.log, standard
28 server's log, I've got:
29
30 (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so failed
31 (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file
32 or directory)
33 (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
34
35 Did portage forgotten about something while emerging ati-drivers? Or
36 maybe it's my mistake to force AIGLX to start ('Option "AIGLX" "true"'
37 in xorg.conf)?

45 Found it. In the section radeon_PCI_IDS I've found the following line:
46
47 {0x1002, 0x4152, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CHIP_RV350}, \
48
49 Please verify my plan. I should recompile my kernel with device drivers
50 -> character devices -> radeon built in (or as a module) and in
51 xorg.conf set driver to "radeon". Am I right?
52
53 Thanks for your feedback,
54 Jan
