[SNIP glxinfo, xorg.conf] I also have an empty xorg.conf, maybe it's worth trying it out. Perhaps you just have a bad combination of options (even if you got them from the "official" documentation)? > If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Would posting to the xorg > or radeon mailing lists be good places for help as well? I have one idea: which Kernel are you using? I have gentoo-sources-2.6.33 installed. I read that the radeon devs recommend to use kernel versions >=2.6.33 for KMS instead of 2.6.32. Just goes to show how different ones experience with the same software can be. For me and my HD4650 (r6xx) it was smooth sailing: I followed Gentoos 3D acceleration guide and just needed to install the radeon-ucode package and everything "just worked". -- Marc Joliet
