I'm using nitro sources for kernel, could that be an issue? I have a T40 and it just segfaults on any use of opengl

@Kurous
Only one way to find out. Use plain ol' boring gentoo-sources and see if opengl works for you.  Good luck. |

Just wondering, was the intel 440LX/BX/GX chipset support required for this to work? From the kernel descriptions it didn't seem revelant to the ATI stuff. I'm doing an installation for a friend on Dell Inspiron 5100 with the radeon mobility 7500 graphics card, but I'm only familar with my Nvidia stuff. |

I'm pretty sure most laptops use these chipsets that have a readon 7500 and you'll need it for AGP. I'm not familiar with dells but if you get a kernel panic without it...it might be a good sign you need that option
