All true. Sorry for the oversimplification. > Apparently the fglrx module does not work in combination with the > radeonfb driver, My experience is that it works partially. When I have used radeonfb with fglrx, everything starts normally, including X and KDE. But if I try to switch to a console (or shutdown the system!), the system hangs with a corrupted display. So yes, radeonfb and fglrx should not be used together. Vesafb-tng behaves much better, although that is a different thread altogether. -Richard. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
