The solution is to simply: when configuring your kernel, under Power management options (ACPI, APM) turn on Legacy Power Management API (PM_LEGACY).

HTH, Thanks, Iain, this made my upgrade to 2.6.15 go without a hitch. You saved me some time on the Rage3D forums (where I would have also found this information, but I didn't have to go there to look because you passed it on first). If you hadn't mentioned, I would probably have masked the kernel upgrades until a new ATI driver release. Appreciate the heads-up :-) . Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

HTH, But they still don't run with xcompmgr, right ? I doubt it. ATI devs report that the team will not even work on support until xcompmgr becomes significantly more stable and closer to something like a final form, which I can understand, myself. Heck, even the nVidia drivers apparently can't support both xcompmgr and their own GLX component at the same time (you have to choose one or the other). Under those conditions, I can only consider it optional (since even if I had an nVidia card, if I had to choose between xcompmgr and glx, I would choose glx), and while it certainly sounds like a nice option (and I'm quite looking forward to it), I'm not particularly hurting for the lack of it. But we may see support proceed much faster once Xorg 7 is released (which I presume would include some kind of stable form of xcompmgr), since apparently ATI is going to a *monthly* release schedule (rather than every two months): http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p=1334103544postcount=79 mtippett is the nick of Matthew Tippett, Engineering Manager for Linux Software Engineering at ATI Technologies, Inc. So if he says it publically like that, you can pretty much bank on it. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
