Hi all, I have two major problems with my 9600 ATI (RV350) graphic card
- With the free radeon driver (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.1-r1) : After few minutes, while emerging or working with some software (Gimp), %CPU increases and then X completely freezes. Then reset... :-( - The proprietary ATI driver (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.582) can't compile with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r4. It asks me to set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y in the kernel config. But there is no CONFIG_PCI_MSI line in the .config !!! Any idea that would help me ? Thank you very much, -- Jacques Here is my xorg.conf and the output of emerge --info ------------------------ # File generated by xorgconfig.
