Hello,

Is this the most current document/wiki we can follow to 
perform an intial X(org) for 7.1?

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

What is the best followup document to get 3D accelleration
working?


If found this doucment that seems mostly related to 
Modular X upgrading:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg

Or is the current state of affairs, just wing it
until it works?

The video card was advertized as an ATI radeon 9600, but
lspci says:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 
[Radeon Xpress 200G Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA])

make.conf has these lines:
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon vesa"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"


I did manage to run

startX and TWM minimal fires up, without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.....?

Running: 'Xorg -configure'  and then 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new'
fails, but no xorg.conf file is created...... I know I can parse
the log files and I know I can build an org.conf file manually, 
I'm just thinking there is some neat script somewhere that I can run to 
generate a default(baseline) xorg.conf file?


Any insight as to the best(most recent) 
docs to follow is most welcone.


James
