Hi All,

After some time, I finally got my system to recognize my AGP controller. After installing ATI driver 8.21.7, I issued the following command:

eselect opengl set ati

When I start X as root and issue "fglrxinfo", it says that I'm using the ATI subsystem. As any other user, though, it says that it's Mesa.

Issuing an

eselect opengl show

returns that it's the ATI subsystem for all users.

Ideas?


Thanks!

Try to add that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "DRI"
        Mode        0666
EndSection
