Well, I think I found the problem (?) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
lspci shows: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
[Radeon HD 4350/4550] an old fanless card in this FX8350 machine |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
This web pages shows only x11-org support for this card (?): |
| 27 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ATI_FAQ |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
RV770 (R700) RadeonHD 4000 series [xorg] |
| 30 |
Note no "AMD" or "DRI" |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
equery depends ati-drivers |
| 33 |
* These packages depend on ati-drivers: |
| 34 |
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.14 (video_cards_fglrx ? x11-drivers/ati-drivers) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So I must make modification so the ati-drivers is not called by |
| 38 |
xorg-drivers. The desktop is simple X with LXDE and openbox; so why is |
| 39 |
ati-drivers being called by xorg-drivers? Because I have this set up in |
| 40 |
make.conf (?): |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fbdev fglrx vesa" |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Which should be |
| 45 |
VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx vesa" |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
??? |
