 |
|
I added VIDEO_CARDS="radeonhd vesa fbdev" in make.conf.
and env-update, emerge -avuDN world, but I found that x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd was not in the emerging list.
Should I have to emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd separately?

Yeah, there isn't any VIDEO_CARDS entry for radeonhd (yet), so you need to emerge xf86-video-radeonhd yourself.
You might also want to include radeon in VIDEO_CARDS, as xf86-video-ati is more stable than the radeonhd driver, and probably performs better than vesa or fbdev.
Also, it might be worth your time grabbing radeonhd from git rather than using the 1.1 release, and I think there's a live git ebuild for it on bugzilla...

Do you know when radeonhd will be added in /etc/make.conf ?

No idea, you could make a bug report about it I suppose, but the driver is still in very early development so I doubt it'll happen to soon.
Anyway, I'd imagine we'll have to wait until mesa includes dri drivers for the r500/600 cards before it'll happen, as without it having radeonhd in VIDEO_CARDS will be no different than simply emerging the driver yourself...

Hi all.
I've read at Phoronix that 3D support for R500 had recently been added to the Open Source ati-driver, while DRI had just been added yesterday to the radeonhd driver.
In short: very good news on the Open Source Side of 3D support!
