Let's just say that Googling for a solution is hard when you don't have X. I could've unhooked my monitor from my main machine and switched to my backup machine, but it's a hassle. Anyhow, I did manage to find the solution in Google using w3m instead of Firefox. The Q and A is... ======================================================================= Question 4.4: I tried to emerge the drivers, but it didn't work. The error message was "cannot find -lGL" As root, do this: opengl-update xfree / opengl-update xorg-x11
emerge ati-drivers opengl-update ati ======================================================================= I emerged ati-drivers, and the rest of the build is now running, so at least that item has been solved. I did some warnings when building ati-drivers. Anybody know what the significance of the following is? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg * To switch to ATI OpenGL, run "opengl-update ati" * To change your xorg.conf you can use the bundled "aticonfig" * Updating module dependencies for 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 ...
