 |
|
Im just making this post for anyone who had trouble with the ati drivers ebuild, didnt work for me, so if anyone else has the same problem, just do the following.
| Code: | wget http://phil0d0x.com/ati.run
su-
sh ati.run
|
Tun through the windows with your keyboard.
NOTE: X must not be running.
Then run (for this stae to work you must have an xorg.conf, run "xorgconfig" to generate one)
| Code: | su-
aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
|
Reboot, then to test it works:
(from x) | Code: | glxgears --printfps
|
If its all decent (running smoothly) chances are its worked. |

Be carefull with this as ATI dropped support for a lot
of cards in their newer drivers.
For those unfortunate folks you need to refer to
bugzilla and look for ati-drivers and here on the forums.
