"opengl-update xorg-x11" got mythtv installed
and
USE="-nsplugin" emerge vlc got vlc installed on this (ATI) portable
My xorg.conf file says:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon-9000-M9"
Driver "radeon"
VideoRam 65536
The DRI section is empty:
# This loads the GLX module
# Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
# Load "dri"
EndSection
lspci -v reveals:
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf
[Radeon Mobility 9000 M9] (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer: Unknown device 0402
Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66Mhz, medium devsel,
latency 66, IRQ 11
Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at 9000 [size=256]
Memory at ec100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
So this means I'm using the kernel built binaries from xorg sources
or the ATI-driver binaries built from ati-drivers?
Also, can I set the memory up to 128M or is the non-prefetched 64M
the limit of this card?
