[Phenax]

The Doom 3 error is because you don't have ATI drivers installed.
The ATI drivers error is because you don't have /usr/src/linux correctly symlinked to your real kernel directory (I.E., /usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r2)

Just two guesses

[zmanz]

thanks, which file do i alter to symlink, aand where do i put my kernel dir in it?

[zmanz]

int symlink(const char *OldPath, const char *NewPath);

so how would i use this? where is the old path? (and isnt there a file whic allows me to edit it instead of throwing a command?

[zmanz]

I get the errors while installing ati driver? is there anyone who knows how to install the ati driver with kernel 2.6? and if that is why doom3 and other games arent working, can someone PLZ help me find a solution to how to get my gfx card drivers to work? i have a radeon express mobility 200m PLZ!

[Dark Defender]

I don't think ati-drivers-8.35.5 supports the 2.6.22 kernel. Try the latest one (8.40.4) instead. Unmask it then emerge it.

[zmanz]

here are no ebuilds to satisfy "=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.40.4".

[zmanz]

ok i got a hold of the installer ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run how do i install it?

[zmanz]

ok i instaalled the aati drivers, but when i run aticonfig (option) it says

Warning: Could not find configuration file
Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11

like

aticonfig --initial or when i run for example aticonfig --resolution=1440x900


what do i do where do i fing this config? and if it dosent exits how do i write it?

[zmanz]

i mean is that it? it installed, and thats it? (no ati controll panel? and as stated b4, the aticonf returns
Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11

[Dark Defender]

Wait, slow down!
It seems like you don't really know how to use portage...
So i would suggest that you update portage with "emerge --sync" and then install the drivers from portage.
You can find a lot of useful guides on http://gentoo-wiki.com/Main_Page (It seems to be down for now)
And if you would have read the "aticonfig --help" output you would have tried this I think:

[zmanz]

ok cool i got it, well i installed the driver, then i set the xorg.conf.example to xorg.conf (edited it a little) not it saves BUT when i run aaticonfig and --enable-monitor=auto it fales (i have lcd) anything else i try it falses auto = faled to set monitor fffffffff

[zmanz]

aticonfig --enable-monitor=auto
ati_dm: FGLRX_EnableDisplays failed when try to enable display: ffffffff.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-9

[Dark Defender]

So you can run "aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf" without any problem?
What is your output of "glxinfo"?

[zmanz]

all ihave to do is run aticonf --initial (it autos it to xorg.conf)

Have you tried "eselect opengl set ati" ?

[zmanz]

bravobox ~ # eselect opengl set ati

"eselect opengl list" then?

Seems to me like you haven't installed the ati-drivers or something went wrong. Because it should be in the list.

[zmanz]

what should i do?

[zmanz]

i havent rebooted my system after driver install (you think thats it?)

[zmanz]

OK THIS IS BAD! lol i restarted and it couldnt find the screen, soo.. i deleted xorg.conf, now i am back in business, humm... i also uninstaaaalled ati-drivers-8.40.3 I GIVE UP I HAVE NO MORE IDEAS
