This time fglrx.ko *was* generated and is loaded at boot. But now I get $startx (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found # faq says ignore (EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV" (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/local/, removing from list! The fix according to the faq: I need to clean up the sources make oldconfig etc, re-emerge the drivers. WRONG :( __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
