Kernel not recognizing your hardware? Problems with power management or PCMCIA? What hardware is compatible with Gentoo? See here. (Only for kernels supported by Gentoo.)
I'd like to enable hardware accelleration with this graphics card but i'm not sure how to do this, i compiled the i810 driver into the kernel and it seems to work but when i try to play tribes 2 it says that my accelleration is not configured, where should i first look to solve this?
Could you post your dmesg and lspci perhaps... I have problems with that drivers and chipset on 2.4.22-openmosix kernel and 2.6.14-gentoo-sources...
2.4 is somewath totaly screwed up...
dmesg has enetrys complaining about not finding /dev/agpgart and when i create it X doesn't start without error mesage...
I don't have output of that dmesg in handy right now...
Edit: I'm checking if the 3d is enabled by trying the glide screensavers and they all sluggish so i know i'ts not working... is there any software i can manipulate the 3d?
