I think Sabayon does this. If bzflag works there, then there's something wrong in the Gentoo installation. I think I have issues with the system. The recent thread where I posted Sep 28 @rebuild-preserved is the same system. One new addional piece of info: Every time I run 'python-updater' 2.5 to 2.6 is takes a long time, says it complete, but If I run 'python-updater' again, is does the same upgrade from 2.5. 2.6. It's like it says it competes, but doesnot or fails to log something. I'm going to rebuild python-updater, just for kicks and see what that does. The version of python is 2.6: eselect python list Available python interpreters: [1] python2.5 [2] python2.6 * but every time I run python-updater, it thinks it is still at 2.5. I do this on other systems, can python-updater comes back really quick, and clean. I've been using ati-drivers with this card on gentoo on this gaming/workstation for some time now, successfully.

Make sure ATI's OpenGL library is used instead of X.Org's: eselect opengl set ati Also make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains this: Section DRI Mode 0666 EndSection Finally, make sure to rebuild all X drivers since you updated xorg-server. This should be a rather quick compilation; the drivers are small: emerge -a1 `qlist -IC x11-drivers/` You need app-portage/portage-utils installed for qlist though. Restart X.
