ATI Drivers with 2.6 Kernels

[jbett]

Had some troubles getting these two to cooperate. Couldn't find much help but it turns out you just need to emerge the latest development drivers, and change a few settings.

Just use this command:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ati-drivers

Also make sure that DRM is disabled in your kernel config, ATI compiles it's own DRM support and I guess there can be some conflicts there.

Also remember that if you compiled your AGPGART as modules to load them at boot time by adding the module names to the file
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
