2006-10-23 Thread oskar kapala 

Hi,

I did emerge world --deep --update and it's working. ATI Radeon XPRESS
200M 5955 (PCIE) is supported by ati-drivers in ver. 8.27.10-r1,
8.28.8, 8.29.6 and also x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3. Both, ati &
x11 drivers coop with xorg-x11-7.1

Before updating I prepared portage overlay and ebuild fot ver 8.24.8
ic case of any problems.

Thanks for your help,
oskar

Cynyr,

Yep, you are absolutely right. I knew that ati is not a good idea, but
this is laptop...

i have both drivers 'ati-drivers-8.29.6 and xf86-video-ati-6.6.3' on top of 
xorg-server-7.1 and linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r1. xorg drivers i keep in case 
something goes wrong and they don't support 3d for my radeon9600pro card.

If you want to update to the current x.org, and abandon the
proprietary ATI drivers, remove "fglrx" from VIDEO_CARDS in
/etc/make.conf.



Great, so I have to chose between 3d accel and updated xorg.

Thanks anyway

Oskar,
Blame ATI, they have 3 options, open the driver, keep up with Xorg dev, 
or piss people off. It as always seemed to me that they like option 3
