Ooops! My bad. 
I'm not sure about pci cards, though. I think you just leave it out.  |

So that's what I did and it didn't work. I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. What do I need to post here in order for people to help me most efficiently? The only reason I haven't provided more information is because I don't know what else is required.

I still have no idea what I got done wrong here.
But when I boot up now, it complains about 3 things.
| Code: | failed to load agpgart
failed to load intel-pci
failed to load radeon |

I'll start a new thread more tailored to the fact that it's a Powercolor Radeon and it's a PCI.

First, when was the last time you ran the drivers you are installing look a little bit old, if it's been a long time then you might want to upgrade your kernel as well.
If there is a reason you are staying with the older stuff then, judging by the output of the emerge of ati-drivers, aticonfig doesn't exist.
you can see on this line of the emerge: | Code: | | >>> /opt/ati/bin/fglrxconfig |
that in this version of ati-drivers the config executable is called "fglrxconfig" and that's what you should be running instead of aticonfig |

Cool that actually makes sense. I don't want to stick with older drivers, I just want it to work, so I should that emerge sync command? And I ran fglrxconfig and it took me through specifying which hardware I had, but when I shut down, installed my video card, hooked the monitors to it and booted back up, it didn't work.

Okay, here's an update on where I am.
I updated my kernel, updated portage, emerged ati-drivers again and ran aticonfig. It complained a little but it ran and changed my xorg.conf file. I have one monitor plugged into my on-board like always, but I had another monitor plugged into the VGA port of my new video card. When I rebooted, my regular monitor wouldn't come on but my second one did. So I unplugged my usual monitor from the on-board and plugged it into the DVI/VGA adapter and then into the DVI port on the video card. The screen went all wierd and then turned off. I couldn't get them to come back on at all until I put it back the way it was, one monitor in the VGA port of the card and one in the on-board video. Now my second monitor is still working, the one in the video card, but the original one is not, the one in the on-board.
So I'm one step closer, now I just need to get the original monitor going again so I can have them both plugged into the video card without losing my video. Any suggestions?

Problem solved. Don't use the AGP instructions for a PCI card.

Hi..
I have a Radeon 9200 PCI, but can't get the ati drivers to work..
I can't get the drivers to compile without agp in kernel conf.
Get missing AGp something errors (exactly same as you got).
When I turn on agp in kernel the drivers compile just fine, however, I can't get the xserver to start properly..
Seems you had same problems during your project... Any Tips?
Tom

Post your xorg.conf file and also which hardware you have.

Got the xserver running atlast.. I removed the PCI busid from xorg.conf to say: "" that did the trick..
But.. I'm not quite sure if everything is ok. When I got the drivers working at first and: /opt/ati/bin/fglrxinfo
The Ati develop..... OpenGL thingy came up and everything seemed fine,, However, when I rebooted the box. and I test it again..

What is that taints kernel message ?
My Xorg.conf:

I guess 3d ax is not working now. !? Since the output of /opt/ati/bin/fglrxinfo ?
PS: Didn't include keyboard and mouse section in xorg.conf here to save some space... 
EDIT:
SOLVED the first "error" my bad,,,, Only got that output cause I was using putty, without L flag or something. don't remember..
Here is the /opt/ati/bin/fglrxinfo
| Code: | display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9200 DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.1050 (X4.3.0-8.23.7)
|
Final: taints kernel? What is that ?

You're way over my head, I have to abandon this one. I think it'd work better if you used the Radeon driver instead of fglrx though.

You are using the fglrx driver on your pci card right? Works like a charm?
Seems to be working as it should here. Gonna test it later..
I was wondering. Since I'm using a PCI card and not AGP.. Howcome do I have to emerge the ati-drivers with agp => chipset enabled in the kernel? Anyone know? Could not get the drivers to install without it..
And the taints kernel output from dmesg.. Anyone know?
TanX anyway

Follow this guide for your AGP ATI card.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers
I had to abandon it because I'm using PCI.
And no, I'm not using fglrx, I think I'm using Radeon which worked out much better. I'll check for sure tonight.

No, been way too busy but I should bump that thread though. Go to https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-455675-highlight-.html to see it.
