When I was using kernel 2.6.12 all was fine with these configuration options:
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) < > ALI chipset support < > ATI chipset support < > AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support < > AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support <M> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support < > NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support < > SiS chipset support < > Serverworks LE/HE chipset support < > VIA chipset support < > Transmeta Efficeon support <M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) < > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+ (NEW) < > ATI Rage 128 (NEW) <M> ATI Radeon < > Intel I810 (NEW) < > Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G < > Matrox g200/g400 (NEW) < > SiS video cards (NEW) When I compiled kernel 2.6.13 the AGP support was not recognized anymore after "modprobe agpgart" or "insmod agpgart" followed by chipset module; I was still not using x11-drm package or ati-drivers. Trying to install ati-drivers I found that my card was not supported... (P.S. after unmerging the package I had to issue the command opengl-update xorg-x11 to switch back to Mesa opengl, otherwise the simple command "glxinfo" will exit with errors...) Trying to install x11-drm I had to disable the following options in the kernel: < > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) < > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+ (NEW) < > ATI Rage 128 (NEW) < > ATI Radeon < > Intel I810 (NEW) < > Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G < > Matrox g200/g400 (NEW) < > SiS video cards (NEW) and I had to setup the variable VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" in /etc/make.conf to compile the package. After a correct compilation of kernel and x11-drm, DRI was not running yet! I tried this options in the kernel: <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) < > ALI chipset support < > ATI chipset support < > AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 chipset support < > AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support <*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support < > NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipset support < > SiS chipset support < > Serverworks LE/HE chipset support < > VIA chipset support < > Transmeta Efficeon support < > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) < > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+ (NEW) < > ATI Rage 128 (NEW) < > ATI Radeon < > Intel I810 (NEW) < > Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G < > Matrox g200/g400 (NEW) < > SiS video cards (NEW) and all was fine...
