 |
|
Hello, I am having a heck of a time trying to get my m10/9600 working.
There is soo many diferent ways to do it and I am confused.
I did use Genkernel - all so i think all modules are loaded, last time I had gentoo on my putter there was limited support for my card.
Now I keep hearing it is possible to get my card working in 3d.
could someone point me in the direction of a howto that would work for me.
I have searched and found a few. but they all differ. and as I said I am confused.
all I need is for someone to point me to the correct one. thanks.

Hi,
This card should work with 3d acceleration using the xorg drivers. I don't know of any specific howto, but my Laptops card is also an M10 (althoug labeled Mobility Radeon 9700). You will need xf86-video-ati merged and a Device section similar to this in xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon0"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AGPMode" "8"
Option "GARTSize" "64"
Option "FBTexPercent" "50"
Option "DisplayPriority" "HIGH"
Option "ColorTiling" "1"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "1"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "1"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "SubPixelOrder" "RGB"
Option "ConstantDPI" "1"
Option "DynamicClocks" "1"
Option "VGAAccess" "0"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

This is actually the Device section for my laptops card. You don't need all the Option "..." lines, but they speed up 3d quite a bit for me. The important thing here is the Driver "radeon" part. You will also need dri and radeon modules in your kernel config, but I think they are included by genkernel (don't know for sure, I don't use genkernel)
Hope this works for you

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 is empty for my setup. If you have your agp-driver (intel-agp in my case) build as module you should add it to the autoloaded modules (I have it built into the kernel, but I think genkernel builds most things as modules)
