Hello,

As I seem to have a natural ability to not find the best
/(most accurate) information regarding video cards and drivers,
I thought I'd ask here.


I just inherited a new friend (with a gentoo) system
that has this entry in the make.conf file:
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon vesa"


lspci shows this:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 
RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series]

So I'm thinking of switching the machine to the ati-drivers.

Are there any other options?


I do not see a radeon driver (using eix radeon)

so I guess the choices are ati-drivers or vesa?

I think the system is running on a vesa driver, although
I do not really know the command syntax to discern
exactly which video driver the system is using.


Any suggestions are welcome.

James
