Are you using the x11-misc/afbinit program to load the afb microcode file for your Elite 3D? If not, try emerging the package and following the instructions it prints out at the end. |

Thx, i now have a u60 w/ elite 3d running into same problem.
One question, will I always need to run:
Code: | # afbinit /dev/fb0 /usr/lib/afb.ucode
|
Or is once enough? Should this be in some type of startup script? Will kernel changes mess it up?
I am logged into Gnome now, just wondering about future kernels or reboots. |

you shouldn't run into any problems when you recompile the kernel. however you will need to run the afbinit command on each reboot or add it to a startup script. i added it to the gdm startup script and it works great. |
