Hi everybody
I currently have xorg 7.2 on a 2.6.20-r7 kernel. Can't get any of the
binary drivers to work
on my Radeon 9200 PRO card (as you might have read in previous posts),
but the open
source drivers works with a little tweaking of xorg.conf.
I use the hardend profil.
I had the following enabled in my kernel when I tried the binary drivers
from ati:
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
Graphics support --->
<*> Support for frame buffer devices
I have the following settings in my make.conf:
USE="gtk gnome alsa hal avahi bash-completion"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
VIDEO_CARDS="savage radeon fglrx"
and this line added in my /etc/portage/package.keywords:
x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~x86
With above settings I'm allowed to install version 8.35.5 of the ati driver.
But aticonfig can't generate a xorg file for me so I'm unable to start x, as
I haven't been able to configure xorg manually with the binary driver.
Just thought I would share..

Just for posterity: I have updated to xorg-7.2 and everything works
perfectly well. As usual, I should say. A big thank you to Gentoo
developers (the xorg maintainers but all others as well) for making
system administration as simple as it is now. Nothing ever breaks
these
days.
