OK, here's the story so far. I ran emerge -eat ati-drivers-extra and then rebooted, just like Bob Sanders advised, absolutely no difference at all. I then put in an old xorg.conf, as advised by James Histock, absolutely no difference at all. So as a last resort, on my own initiative, I removed every single xorg.conf and XF86 config file completely, rebooted and... absolutely no difference at all. Even without any xorg.conf file X boots up fine and runs as normal with no change to the ATI cards performance, with no detrimental or improved effect at all. It does however boot up to the login screen in a 10th the time it normally takes. That grey screen with the little watch last a minute or two, without any xorg.conf file it lasts 10 seconds. Anyone other than me baffled yet? -- Tony. The Bat! 3.0.2.10 Registered Linux user #316959 PGP Key http://www.theboomclan.com/pgp.txt http://www.1and1.co.uk/?k_id=7037908
