hi

I am new to gentoo and i want to uninstall the mesa drivers, which apparently are included in the kernel, so that i can use the ati-drivers instead.. they wont work unless the mesa drivers are uninstalled.. how do i do this?

regards

no, that is not right.. i compiled it manually... the output of lspci shows the right grafic card and i have installed the ati-driverse and configurede the xorg.conf as i should according to the ati-manual... the kernel is only set ati/radeon.. am i just blind?? how do i do it??
