Hi All, I cleared out some xorg related packages at some point because my machine will not shutdown without a kernel oops when it is trying to unload the radeon driver. It now seems I can no longer find glxgears/info. What have I removed that I shouldn't have?
I remember unmerging xorg-x11 (there was advice in this list that this is not
needed when using Fluxbox or other lightweight window managers).
When I moved to x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r* I also unmerged
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati. I recall concluding at the time that the new
xorg-server did not need such an external driver - is that right?
I have set radeon as the video card in my /etc/make.conf, but Xorg.0.log shows
ati_drv.so - should it be so?
# less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver
X.Org XInput driver : 2.1
(==) Matched ati for the autoconfigured driver
New driver is "ati"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_texture_from_pixmap with driver support
# lsmod | grep radeon
radeon 145696 2
drm 141892 3 radeon
