nope. but it's ok, i figured it out after a great deal of googling. for some
reason, i have to specifiy the ChipID in my x config. this is the first time
i've ever had to do that and i had no idea what to put. i actually ended up
copying what i found in a forum and it "just worked":
Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:5:0:0"
ChipID 0x5548
VideoRam 262144
EndSection
now i just have to figure out how to get the binary drivers to work, since i
keep getting this:
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.11-gentoo-r6/video/fglrx.ko):
No such device
no idea what that means, though i haven't spent a lot of time searching
either. if you have the answer on hand though, i wouldn't mind a heads
up ;-)
