 |
|
I recently did my first succesfiul Gentoo install. I installed Gentoo on an AMD/ATI machine. I want 3d acceleration so I got the radeon drivers. When I manually run and then it starts up gnome shell with acceleration but something is wrong with how it renders icons, something that doesn't happen when gdm is started at boot.
When I ran
| Code: |
omar@GenShady ~ $ sudo dmesg | grep radeon
[ 1.308206] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
[ 1.309615] radeon 0000:01:05.0: VRAM: 256M 0x00000000C0000000 - 0x00000000CFFFFFFF (256M used)

It showed that it can't load the radeon driver.
Any help is greatly appreciated |

Ηι. Did you run make Xorg -configure? I don't know if that helps but creates the xorg.conf file (in /root and you must move it /etc/X11)

| You need to start it through the display manager, as that sets up what is necessary; I don't have a reference, but startx has regressed since around 3.7. |
