Description smegma 2006-04-26 07:50:57 UTC 
Dunno what to do now...

1. No GL accel in modular x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 && ati-drivers 8.21.7-r1
   Its the same with 8.23 driver and X11R6
   despite this, Q3 does use libGL...

GL_VENDOR: ATI Technologies Inc.
GL_RENDERER: RADEON 9700 PRO Generic
GL_VERSION: 2.0.5582 (8.21.7)
[...]
...loading libGL.so.1:
Calling SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO)...
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) passed.

2. Screen turns dark after shutting down X (switching out of X works fine)
   No the "notv" option won't change anything.

Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-26 19:16:11 UTC 
Dead bug about ebuild version that no longer exists; reopen if you have issues with up-to-date ati-drivers.
