I must have gotten my wires crossed. I did have a helluva time initially getting ati-drivers 35.x to work in January. this time I was able to 'emerge ati-drivers' and version '8.37.6-r1' worked. I'm not sure I had to but after emerging the ati-drivers package I ran these commands: update-modules eselect opengl set ati then I just rebooted and all is fine. Some of these steps may not have been required, but it's working with the updates. Part of my problem last January was due to the x1900xt card I purchased being somewhat new. thanks again for the help. James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
