I set radeon as a use flag, compiled the kernel without any special DRI stuff, and emerged xfree-drm. No need to copy any files. I even think that the kernel modules only work with old XFree versions, not 4.3. Have you tried it this way? Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I totally agree... I only came accross it by chance! There is also ati-drivers, which is the equivalent offering from ATI. If you emerge that, you can switch between it and the xfree drivers with: opengl-update ati or opengl-update xfree HTH, MAL -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You started your first thread earlier this month. If you rebuilt the kernel at that time (9/0 or so) then why would you be using a radeon module from 8/4? I think this is an old module. Are you using a non-standard location to store and build kernel source or something? Why is this under /root? > > > Could it be a bug in the radeon driver?? Like I say, I run a 7500 in one machine jsut fine. I do not think it is a radeon bug, unless it has something to do with some other hardware in your system, or your specific radeon card. Have you used this card under Windows and seen it work? Or is that not an option with this machine? > > Can this be solved manually or do i have to reinstall gentoo? I really > want to repair this!

I documented this and sent it to Florian off list as it is quite long and possibly not of interest for most people here. However, if people on the list want me to forward that here I'd be happy to do so. Just let me know. I have not heard yet from Florian as to whether it worked, so possibly it would be best to make sure I didn't have too many documentation mistakes before it gets distributed.
