I just compiled the latest version of the ati-drivers (8.34.8) and when working in gnome i am constantly having artifact problems around my mouse clicks. When i first compiled ati-drivers and started gnome it was running on Mesa GLX, i have been able to get X to use the ATI drivers however and i still have the problem.

Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:

I am currently running gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5. Do you think upgrading to a new version of the kernel and building ati-drivers against that new version would help?

This problem is solved.

First i updated to the new drivers using the Gentoo kernel update guide.

Next i had to do an

Code:
#emerge sandbox


because my doing emerge ati-drivers was giving me an error of:
--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------
LOG FILE = /var/log/sandbox/sandbox-blahblahblah.log

open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r8/null.gcda

After this i did:

Code:
#emerge ati-drivers
#modules-update
#modprobe fglrx
#eselect opengl set ati


After this was able to boot into GNome with no artifact problems at all.
