Wow! I have a: ATI Technologies Inc RD580 [CrossFire Xpress 3200] Chipset Host Bridge VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900 XT] I looked at bugs.gentoo.org and could not find it. The bug number would be greatly appreciated? Since upgrading to ati-8.552-r2 When playing bzflag, sporadically I get what looks like a loss of sync, then it pops back ok after a long second or 2...... Reading the link posted by another user (KH): http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-submit.xml I see this prose (very exciting) on page 5/6: "ATI Stream Computing Support" It seems that with ATI Catalyst 8.12, we commoners can finally access and program so that the GPU is another available processor for us to access and use. Anyone with information, particularly relate to 'howto' use an ATI GPU under gentoo, would be of keen interest to me. I'm wondering if the aforementioned (experimental) ebuild would address basic access to the GPU? James
