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.
Ok, I still use 2.4. kernel, yes I knew, my radeon 7500 (RV200 QW
chipset) is not supported by ati proprietary driver.
Thanks for tip ... it's the frist real reason to probe 2.6 kernel ;-).
