I run Gentoo (linux-2.6.3-gentoo) on a Athlon 1800+, 512MB, Asus A7V266-E, Radeon 9600 Pro. I was having to recompile XFree86 anyhow so I decided to "upgrade" to X.org.
I ran the following sequence of commands:
1) emerge unmerge xfree
2) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xorg-x11
3) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ati-drivers
which installed ATI-drivers-3.9.0-r1 and X.org xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1. I then ran xorgconfig to generate an xorg.conf file which I put in /etc/X11. My Tv-out still wasn't working so I copied some options from my old XF86Config-4 file to the xorg.conf file (which didn't fix anything), but other than that, the xorg.conf is the same as was generated. I've attached my complete xorg.conf below.
Now my opengl still isn't running so I'm trying to figure out what I need to do/forgot to do. If I run "opengl-update xorg-x11" I get the following when I run "fglrxinfo":
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: mesa3d dot org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.4 Mesa 5.0.2)
If I try "opengl-update ati" I get:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: mesa3d dot org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.4 Mesa 5.0.2)
Is this error (XFree86-DRI missing) the reason my 3D isn't working? If so, how do I fix it?
When I run "dmesg" I find the following:
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 430 MBytes.
