yup
my make.conf is a bit of a mess, but here it is:
| Quote: | CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev radeon fglrx vesa"
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"
USE="-qt -kde hal ipod mono symlink dri mp3 gtk gnome howl aac divx divx4linux dts live mad matroska mythtv real theora win32codecs xanim xvid dvd vcd java alsa opengl nptl nptlonly nsplugin xv gmedia realmedia wmp"
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="$PORTDIR_OVERLAY /usr/local/ipl_ebuilds"
|
(I just added the fbdev, and doing emerge --newuse) |

what version of xorg are you using?
I don't personally have an ati card (well, I DO, but a mach64 doesn't really count...I have dri though and its never a problem anymore :P lol), but my gf does. I'll start up her lappy and check the config...its an old config though...its needs an update... |

oh!
Put this in your device section, in the next line under fglrx.
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
That should make it use the kernel agpgart. |

| ... will that really help though? if i use fglrx it tells me that no device is found... and agpgart isnt built into the kernel anymore, it's built as a module... |

Apparently, by internal, it means there's an agp module built in to the fglrx driver. Using that line will force the use of the module supplied by the kernel.
Sounds weird to me! Its worth a go though. |

no good... with "Driver 'fglrx'" with or without the UseInternalAGPGART line gives this message

My gf is using the radeon driver. It doesn't really work so great, but its good enough for what she needs it for. Its not so much help if you want to get the fglrx driver working
I've seen someone further with this problem. I'm totally out of ideas, except updating to xorg 7.1 |

what happens when you try the radeon driver then? you need to put it in your autoload.d file, but I think you've already mentioned that its loading on boot...whats the output of glxinfo with the radeon driver? |

#glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: No
... since xorg wouldnt start with the fglrx driver, all the glx fglrx and glxgears stuff i have posted was from the radeon driver |

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I was under the impression that fglrx only supports Radeon 8500 and later -- whereas here we have a Mobility M6, aka Radeon 7000. So experimenting with ATI's proprietary drivers would be rather futile, I think.

That's something I would rather like to know, as well.

so, just to recap, you need to
1. you've set the driver to raedon in xorg.conf
2. you've loading the modules in the right order in autoload.d (agpgart, intel-agp, radeon, dri or something...you should check it, or configure your kernel again and just build it in)
3. Check to see if your card is supported. I notice that the 7500 is not supported. I'm not sure if the 7000 is (which is yours). |
