hi there,

switching the kernel worked so far. except when i try to start X11 server after kernel update. gnome3 quits with some strange error, and so i thought it is time to recompile the ati-drivers but that does not work :

Code: Select all

it is a known issue : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1 ... e2e7eecc6f

since now there is sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.19.2 in portage available. did someone check if the error is gone now ?

there are still no new ati-drivers out ...

edit : 3.19.2 leads to same fault in gnome3 start. also it is still impossible to compile the current unstable ati-drivers with it. strange thing, since my last world update i cannot start gnome3 with 3.18 anymore.

i am using 3.19.2 with XFCE4 and old (with 3.18 ) compiled ati-drivers.

i`d really appreciate it if someone could share experiences

thanks

i guess the gnome error is unrelated to the 3.19 and ati-drivers issue(i uninstalled some gnome packages)

still with 3.19.3 i can not compile the latest ati-drivers-14.12-r3, so still no 3d acceleration with 3.19.3

i could give the open-source a shot, but so far they have been much slower than the ati binaries.

ati-drivers-14.12-r3 and r4 from x11 overlay did not work for me. i could install ati-drivers-15.1 though.

using gentoo-sources-3.19.3 and ati-drivers-15.1 from x11 overlay does work. still have to check if they work with xorg-1.17. and then do a performace test with 32 bit steam games, lets see if it was all worth the hassle.

edit:after recent abi_32 changes i had to remove emul-linux-*. now 32 bit sound dont work (steam/firefox-flash)

ati-drivers-15.1 are in regular portage tree now. so 3.19 should run fine with current ati-drivers.

I am still only seeing the old version

Maybe you should put ati-drivers in /etc/portage/package.keywords. means you have to unmask the unstable drivers...

Good luck

Upgrading to the latest kernel / driver works which is great. However now I am having issues with firefox:
