Really? I mean: sure? I'm puzzled because this is what lspci tells me: imac ~ # lspci | grep "VGA" 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP (rev 5c) > It's possible to use drm with that > card, but it's a real pain. I read that I could use the useflag "insecure-drivers" on a german howto, if anybody can read it: Chapter 3.2 http://www.gentoo.de/doc/de/dri-howto.xml#doc_chap3 > The patches for it should be merged into > Modular X, you should probably look into upgrading to modular: > > http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml Because I don't like using ~* I'd like to know if there is a difference in Mach64-support on Xorg 6.8.2 and 7.0.
