before installing X

[perini]

I’ve used Gentoo before but recently tried xubuntu because I was unable to get X working properly; ATI driver (3D Rage) – specifically DRI issue. I’m back to installing Gentoo (minimal) and would like to know (and have questions about) if:

I emerged ati-drivers “before” the menuconfig, would I then be able to choose the correct ATI drivers? (I went ATI blind trying to get X working – previously)

Any advice before I start the X install would be greatly appreciated.

I recommend you reading the following documentation first:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml

If you already built the kernel, you should only read this one and
the further docs mentioned here:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Desktop Environments.
Desktop stuff, so moved here.
