Hi Florian, Have you seen http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml? Many of the details you're looking for are there.
I haven't seen it! Thanks for the hint! :) So i'm just following the steps and here's a question: ### from the page: > 2.

what about XFree 4.3. ? The same?
The kernel's DRM only works for xfree 4.2 and lower. Therefore, you cannot enable DRM in the kernel with xfree 4.3. When you emerge xfree-drm, it provides an updated DRM that works with xfree 4.3.
I see, ok. Now i booted my new kernel with DRM, radeon-4.1 off and agpgart as module. Got a problem loading module agpgart:
groovesurfer gsu # dmesg | grep drm
[drm] Initialized tdfx 1.0.0 20010216 on minor 0 [drm] AGP 0.99 on Intel i845 @ 0xe0000000 64MB [drm] Initialized radeon 1.1.1 20010405 on minor 1 [drm] AGP 0.99 on Intel i845 @ 0xe0000000 64MB [drm] Initialized i810 1.2.0 20010920 on minor 2 {nid 294}
groovesurfer gsu # dmesg | grep agp {nid 295}::

Haven't googled yet. Will do after breakfast and post again.
I couldnt find anything useful... I start a new thread, this one is probably too old meanwhile.
