OK, so let's have a go at the ATI drivers again. First, get rid of the open source ati drivers emerge --unmerge -av radeon-ucode xf86-video-ati
Editing the /etc/make.conf file to change the last line to VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx" then running emerge -NDuav system changes the mesa driver so that I have no valid selections for "VIDEO_CARDS=", so I'll unmerge mesa emerge --unmerge -av mesa running emerge -NDuav world identified the xorg-drivers and pm-utils packages that have changed, and attempts to re-emerge mesa, so I'll unmerge those two emerge --unmerge -av xorg-drivers pm-utils moving on to the kernel, I verify that I have the correct kernel parameters: Device drivers -> Graphics Support -> <*> dev/agpgart (AGP support) None of the other modules below the agpgart appear to be appropriate, so I'll not enable any of these. Disable the direct rendering manager and framebuffer support, so this should take care of the radeon driver module. I'll do a locate search for this before I reboot. > Device Drivers -> > Generic Driver Options -> > < > Userspace firmware loading support > [ ] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary Recompile the kernel and update using grub. emerge ati-drivers It seems this was still present from the previous attempt, so I'll re-emerge it. Running emerge -NDuav system still pulls in mesa, so back in it goes. Running emerge -NDuav world pulls back in xorg-drivers and pm-utils, so these are also reinstalled. emerge --depclean pulls out a few packages, radeontool gst-plugins-v4l gst-plugins-v4l2 gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r6 since gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r6 is the kernel I'm presently operating with, I'll re-emerge that and verify that it is still current via eselect kernel list. revdep-rebuild doesn't add anything else. Prevent boot-up into X-windows, then reboot. rc-update del xdm default reboot run aticonfig --initial to create an xorg.conf file. startx total system crash - hard reset required to reboot. Hmm - the xorg.log file has this error. atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. Can anyone shed light on this?
