Works fine here on the 9800xt.
The only little catch is that the ati glx doesn't work with xorg.
So what you have to do is:
| Code: | | opengl-update xorg-x11 |
I see no speed difference compared to the ati glx.
The binary ati driver stays is the config, don't change it.
EDIT: ati drivers 3.7.6-r1 have just been released in portage, it now works with the ati dirvers

| But you're using XF86config or xorg.conf ? |

| I seem to have the same setup (9800xt), I am using xorg.conf - simply copy your XF86config-4 to xorg.conf and off you go. |

I unmerged xfree and merged xorg-x11. My ati radeon 9700 pro stopped working accelerated  (copied XF86conf-4 to xorg.conf)
I've booted already, and this is working fine, but just no acceleration
| Code: |
tokyo wx # /opt/ati/bin/fgl_glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGBA, Double-buffered visual
tokyo wx # opengl-update xorg-x11
* Switching to xorg-x11 OpenGL interface... [ ok ]tokyo wx # /opt/ati/bin/fgl_glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGBA, Double-buffered visual
|
[edit]
I did a emerge unmerge ati-drivers && emerge ati-drivers and
opengl-update ati and
env-update && source /etc/profile and
restarted X and it's working again =) |

I have configured xorg with fglrxconfig and now startx works but I get an error message
| Code: |
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)

It works now. :)
I reemerged ati-drivers and configred xorg with fglrxconfig.
Then I put fglrx into the modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 and restarted
After that the error was still there so I did opengl-update ati but it didn't help.
My last try was a "opengel-update xorg-x11" an now everthing works fine. fglrxinfo detects the opengl support.
Now I will emerge fvwm - twm isn't really nice. :) |

(list goes on)
i've tried
| Code: |
opengl-update ati
opengl-update xorg-x11
|
do i really need to make an env-update after that? i've read that in another post, but i don't think that should be necessary.
yes i do have the 3.7.6-r1 installed.
