 |
|
| I just bought an ATI Radeon 9600Pro card for my computer. As I went to get drivers at the ATI site, I was greeted with a message stating that the R350 core is not supported yet. So, I went and tried the DRI drivers, they don't work either. XFree states that it cannot find the module "radeon" even after I load the radeon module. The FireGL drivers won't work either because of RPM trouble, I''m re-emerging RPM right now. Anyone have experience with this card yet? I am stuck using the VESA driver, and really would like to have some 3-D Acceleration. |

I'm using a Radeon9500... Did you try to emerge the drivers?
That should build the radeon module which worked for me. |

| You shouldn't need Xfree-DRM since the ATI drivers don't use it. What kind of errors are you getting when you try emerge ati-drivers? The only dependency that the newest drivers has is xfree-4.3 i believe, so it could be a problem with that. |

I myself have the same video card (9600pro) and has yet to get it working correctly. 
I believe this should solve your re-emerging problems of the ati-drivers.
| Code: |
opengl-update xfree
emerge ati-drivers
opengl-update ati

I have an really old Pentium ][ box with a memory problem. I get this error when compiling a lot of packages (the most annoying one is asspell). I think this might be your problem. |

unfortunately no. I'm currently using the vesa drivers. when trying to use the "fglrx" or the "radeon" drivers, X never starts for me. I get a lot of no screens found and stuff. I don't have the time to actually sit down and figure it out as of lately.
