Read /etc/log/Xorg.0/log
It will tell you which driver it loaded.

[gentoo-user] video driver discovery

2008-12-19 Thread James
Hello,


I have a this video card:
ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series


I have this entry in make.conf:
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon vesa"

ati-drivers is not installed.

What video driver is the gentoo system running on?


How can I verify which driver(version) it is using?



...I do not admin this system often, so I probable installed
it in the middle of the the night(in a coma, perchance)...
