PostPosted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 7:23 pm    Post subject: [SOLVED] Problem configuring ATI Video Card: no fglrx Reply with quote

Hi,
I am following this article to setup my video card (ATI Radeon Xpress 200M):
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Gentoo_Linux_64bit_on_HP_Pavilion_dv5000z_series_notebook#Video_Card_Configuration

But I didn't get the acceleration. It seems i don't have the fglrx driver, when I modprobe flrgx i get:

Code:
FATAL: Module fglrx not found.


I emerged ati-drivers, so i'm supposed to have this flgrx, right?
Here is my emerge --info

Code:

Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.24.3 x86_64)

My Xorg.conf is like the one in that tutorial.
And i have a radeon module, it is the same that fglrx? When i change fglrx for radeon in Xorg.conf it can't even startx. I should use fglrx or radeon or what?

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you

Is your current kernel src dir point to /usr/src/linux?

Hi, maybe you should try the testing version of this package (8.47) ?

No problem :)

The ati-drivers are so good (yeah right :twisted:), that you don't have the choice to always run the latest ati-drivers, because with that, you have a small chance that it will actually works...

I wish that I had a Nvidia on my box 8O
