[gentoo-user] ATI radeon problems
Hi all, I have two major problems with my 9600 ATI (RV350) graphic card - With the free radeon driver (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.1-r1) : After few minutes, while emerging or working with some software (Gimp), %CPU increases and then X completely freezes. Then reset... :-( - The proprietary ATI driver (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.582) can't compile with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r4. It asks me to set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y in the kernel config. But there is no CONFIG_PCI_MSI line in the .config !!! Any idea that would help me ? Thank you very much, -- Jacques Here is my xorg.conf and the output of emerge --info # File generated by xorgconfig.

Ok, i forgot that very useful "/" button ! I hit it and found i hadn't selected Local APIC Support on uniprocessors. Now : CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI=y CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y Next step, i try to emerge ati-drivers... Thanks a lot for your help ! cheers, -- Jacques

Volker Armin Hemmann a gentiment tapote: while you are at it, please turn off html mails. Hi all, So, i rebuilt my 2.6.28-r4 kernel with the good options, emerged ati-drivers and...everything works fine :-) I would have preferred using free radeon driver, but it doesn't work properly on my platform :-( Thank you very much for your help ! Cheers, -- Jacques
