Manuel, Hi. I've been doing a number of experiements this morning to look into this a bit further. Basic results say that ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2 will build on 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 but will not build on any of the 2.6.14 variants I've tried so far. OK, so I've tried: 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 + ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2 - works: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ glxgears Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". 2793 frames in 5.0 seconds = 558.600 FPS 3360 frames in 5.0 seconds = 672.000 FPS 2.6.14-gentoo 2.6.14-rt6 + ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2 - won't build 2.6.14-rt6 + ati-drivers- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
