Re: [sabayon-dev] fglrx with latest Live iso (August 1st 2013 taken from rsync)
A quick followup on this, testing on my 2nd ATI/AMD system: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] In this case KMS also kicks in, but now the FOSS driver is being used it seems, all is well.

With all good will in the world after installing those drivers I've been unable to boot my 3.10 or even 3.9 kernel using all possible boot flags. (gentoo=nox disable splash etc etc I tried all) A nogo thus far. )o; Trying to undo it all...

I noticed 13.8 Beta driver hit Limbo so I went testing. Using the 3.9 kernel the system boots up fine. I did notice that after upgrading my opengl profile was set to x11 rather then ati. Before rebooting I manually corrected this.

Re: [sabayon-dev] fglrx with latest Live iso (August 1st 2013 taken from rsync)
Today I switched to the 3.11 kernel. (and skipped the 3.10 kernel) xbox-360 joost # uname -r && lsmod | grep fglrx 3.11.0-sabayon fglrx6831209 75 agpgart22168 5 drm,ttm,fglrx,intel_agp,intel_gtt All seems fine. This monologue can be marked solved. On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 11:09 PM, Joost Ruis wrote: > I noticed 13.8 Beta driver hit Limbo so I went testing. > Using the 3.9 kernel the system boots up fine.
