Are you using kernel modesetting? If you are then you have to get your microcode built into the kernel. You need CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, and provide the filenames of the firmware you require (in the form of a space delimited string) to run your graphics card. You also need CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR to tell the kernel where to find the microcode. Mine is set to /lib/firmware. > Reboot and Running: > xorg-server-1.9.2 ati-drivers-10.11 > xorg-x11-7.4-r1 kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 > with no hald all is fine? > The old kernel was built with hal and hald > running, if that makes a difference.....? I don't think it has anything to do with HAL. Check to make sure if you are now running Kernel Modesetting where the previous kernel wasn't. -- Regards, Gregory.
