Hi ive read alot of the post in these forums... and i still havnt gotten X running on my pc.

Its an Intel E7505 based chipset with an ATI 9800pro card.
Regardless if im trying 2.9.X and 3.2.8 drivers i fails after a little while with the following message:

teb root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -k ati-drivers

This happens regadless if im using 2.4.2X or 2.6.test.X

Can anyone please help me?

I now have the same problem.
After I did an emerge -u world a few days ago, I am unable to compile my Ati-drivers, I get the same error.

Just before the last emerge -u, I was able to emerge the drivers succesfully.
Most important update in there was gnome2.4, but I'll have to check when I get home to see what packages got installed or upgraded.

might have something to do with opengl, cause when I do an opengl-update now, it also gives 2 errors about readline : command not found.

I run ati-drivers with gnome 2.4, that is not the problem. I vaguely remember having this problem long ago (6+ months ago). You need to re-emerge the opengl-update I think, or do opengl-update xfree before merging so that you have some valid gl libraries. Then once built do opengl-update ati. It's something related to that at least. Its not the drivers, after months of nagging, ati has given us passable drivers.

Install qt before you install the drivers btw, you'll need them for fireglcontrol, which you'll be using to fix currupt rendering when switching ttys while using fglrx.

I'm not complaining about the drivers, they're a little slow but they came a long way in one year.

Problem is that just doing an emerge -u world screwed up a perfectly working system and I always unmerge ati-drivers, nforce-net and nforce-audio before I compile my kernel or before I upgrade to a newer ati-drivers version.

Somehow my opengl got screwed up, re-emerging opengl-update doesn't solve the problem. It suddenly seems that I no longer have opengl on my system.
On trying to switch opengl interface, I now get this msg :

Code: Select all

 * Switching to xfree OpenGL interface...
/usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found
/usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found              [ ok ]

And on trying to install gtkglarea exits because of opengl...

Code: Select all

!!! ERROR: x11-libs/gtkglarea-1.99.0 failed.

!!! econf failed

There is either something wrong with my readline command, causing my opengl not to be seen, or opengl isn't there anymore.

So it worked perfectly for over 6 months and doing an emerge -u world screwed it up. This is the 3rd time that an emerge -u world screws up my working setup in one year.... If I would have won the lottery and have too much time on my hands, it wouldn't be so frustrating

Woohoow solved

Bugzilla Bug 25809

Dependancy issue between opengl-update, debianutils and coreutils.

fix :
emerge coreutils before running opengl-update

the readlink issue was causing ati-drivers and some other packages to fail.

That's right. TEB, your problem should be fixable by doing

Code: Select all

opengl-update xfree
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -k ati-drivers
opengl-update ati
