Hi Tero, I put this off for a long time. I'm a bit confused about exactly what driver is getting loaded here and how it got built. When I set VIDEO_CARDS="mach64" I did not get a driver called 'ati' but I did get a driver called 'mach64'. I am currently loading the following drivers:
godzilla ~ # lsmod Module Size Used by <SNIP> mach64 53952 0 drm 65304 1 mach64 agpgart 29384 2 via_agp,drm godzilla ~ # This gets me to the point where I have no errors in =/var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I do have warnings. I think that doesn't matter until I get the drivers straightened up though. I presume this is the ATI driver that normally comes with xorg-x11 is it not? If so how do I get both it and the mach64 driver built? I hope I'm not totally missing your point. Sorry if I'm being dense.
