I'm not happy with fglrx either, it's very buggy, but now that my card (radeon 9550) is supported by the free drivers I will be able to get rid of it :) __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

This post came as a reply to the update-eix has memory problems thread; apparently you hit reply and changed the subject, rather than sending a new mail to the list (which would have started a new thread). This is bad mailing-list etiquette. Number two, as to your actual problem: a) I don't understand what nothing was completing if it created an xterm of output or so means. What is nothing? (not) completing how? I suppose what you're saying is that applications that produce terminal output are not completing in some fashion, but even if that's a correct reading, it still doesn't tell me much about what the problem actually is. Some error messages would be much more useful in this regard. b) I am wondering about that ati-agp module. Does that mean you're using the internal fglrx agp module (UseInternalAGPGart set to yes in xorg.conf), or that you're using the kernel module for ATI IGP motherboards? Do you actually have an ATI IGP mobo in your laptop, is it? c) does the fglrx driver actually now support the X600 series (mobile)? I know that people with X800s (desktop) don't have support (and, man, are they P.O'd), and mobile chip support tends to be somewhat choppy, so it's possible that there's only partial support for the chipset, resulting in this issue (I have a 9800SE, so while I don't find much to be grateful for in the ATI drivers, I am at least grateful for an older model card that is supported as well as anything is supported by the proprietary Linux drivers).

Hello All, I've read that the ati-drivers does not support 2.6.15 kernel yet... I guess when you say nothing finish it means that your command hangs and desn't give you the prompt. I have the same problem.

Hello All,

Not true; I've been using them together for the last two versions of the
ATI drivers:
motub - uname -r
2.6.15-gentoo
motub - fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9800 SE Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5582 (8.21.7)
(upgraded from 8.20.8 yesterday).
I guess when you say nothing finish it means that your command hangs and
desn't give you the prompt. I have the same problem.

Here are a site that point the problem and a way to patch 2.6.15 kernel...
The gentoo ebuild(s) already contains this patch:
# $Header:
/var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.21.7.ebuild,v
1.2 2006/01/21 21:15:52 anarchy Exp $
snip
# fix kernel oops for acpi
if kernel_is 2 6 15; then
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-linux-2.6.15.patch
fi
}
