| grknight | hypronix, you do know that ati-drivers does not provide "radeon" |
| hypronix | grknight: ah hold on... i think... i get it now :-s grknight: ok.. fglrx does not detect any devices... any quick hints? [btw massive thanks for the step fwd] |
| action | grknight is quite happy with xf86-video-radeon |
| grknight | is quite happy with xf86-video-radeon |
| action | hypronix takes note of that and proceeds investigation |

| grknight | hypronix, never finished it myself |
| rullie | hypronix: what video card do you have? |
| hypronix | rullie: radeon 9000 |
| rullie | hypronix: ah, i might want the radeon driver instead of fglrx u* |
| grknight | hypronix, that card seems to have difficulties according to sources |
| hypronix | rullie: that's ati-gatos, right? it bitches about not being able to get my xorg-x11 USE flags grknight: just my luck, i s'ppose |
| rullie | it is generally believed that radeon driver has comparable performance with less bug for 9200 and below inclusive but then, some believe radeon doesnt work well with EXA and XAA accelmethods |
| hypronix | and i wanted to run beryl on my 22" :( well won't give up that easily |
| dz | rullie: it doesn't even matter with my card. I tried running ET once -- 15FPS max with details all the way down |
| grknight | hmm.. i might want to play with ati-drivers.. maybe it's a nice challenge :D |
| scriptdevil | what is the package i must emerge for libdb-4.2 ? |
| rullie | hypronix: if u're already on ur way on fglrx, continue on and just see how it turns out dz: u got a good card then, i suppose? |
| dz | rullie: mobility M6 LY |
| grknight | scriptdevil, try sys-libs/db |
| scriptdevil | thanks |
| samk | Anyone know which is better ubuntu or gentoo? |
| grknight | samk, #gentoo-chat please |
| dz | samk: you expect a reasonable answer to that question in here? :P |
| rullie | samk: asking that in #gentoo? |
| psomas-GNET | :P |
| hypronix | rullie: i'll see what i can do, unfortunately it seems using radeon detected the device but complained about modes; fglrx says that it does not detect any devices [whereas in fact it does detect the TV-out on the card] |
| rullie | hydrogen: i believe the newest ati-driver stopped support for 9200 and below or something |
| hydrogen | die. |
| hypronix | :) |
| rullie | hypronix: T_T let me give u my version |
| hypronix | rullie: AFAIK ati has some linux drivers on their site? lemme check |
