Hi all, Main question is whether there is any change in the way I select the fglrx driver with xorg-server-1.5?I have a big emerge running on one of my MythTV frontends that uses an old 2.6.19 kernel with an old 8.28 ati-driver package. The machine does not use a keyboard or mouse. I cannot update either the kernel or the ati-driver for hardware support reasons. When the emerge is finished in a couple of hours do I need to change the xorg.conf file at all to use the server with the fglrx driver or will it just work?
There's a pretty big chance that 8.28 is so old that it does not support xorg-server 1.5 at all. That means you can't use xorg-server 1.5. And if you're not prepared to update your kernel, then the xorg native driver (xf86-video-ati) is out of the question too.
It looks to me you'll have to keep using the older xorg-server.
