I was wondering if an X.Org Radeon Driver ebuild was yet available.
hmmm ... I use(d) "x11-drm" for radeon 7500. It worked fine under xfree (tested by Quake3) and therefore I thought, it's still properly working under xorg-x11, because it's not masked.
A minute ago I started glxgears to check it. After few seconds system froze totally (probably when the fps result should be printed). Is it a known problem ? (There is nothing unusual in Xorg.0.log)
Don't use x11-drm if you have a 2.6 kernel - instead select the DRM driver in the kernel configuration. Also, don't install ati-drivers for a 7500 - it only supports the R200 chipset (Radeon 8500) and higher, while the 7500 uses an R100 chipset.
Using the in-kernel DRM driver and the "radeon" driver from xorg-x11 *should* work fine.
