ATi mini howto

that is part of the solution

the other part is change a bit the ati-drivers ebuild (make sure that will use
xfree-4.2.1*)
and the xfree-4.2.99.4 one (make sure people don't use it with ati-drivers, nor
complains about font problem if don't regen the XF86Config, I know isn't
related to ati, but I got some question about that and may get annoying too)
Comment 3 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2003-02-18 17:44:12 UTC
I made the draft, now I ask for the doc-team help to publish/correct it
Comment 4 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-24 00:35:31 UTC

Comment 5 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2003-04-22 15:35:45 UTC

Second Draft, there is something left, please someone take a look on what I
have already done
Comment 7 Jorge Paulo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-05 20:57:53 UTC
I'll edit.
Comment 8 Jorge Paulo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-15 18:35:23 UTC
Document reviewed and committed to cvs.  Awaiting release of xfree-4.3.0-r4 and some additional changes by the original author before linking it from the main docs index.
Comment 9 John Davis (zhen) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-24 05:57:44 UTC
What is the status on this bug then? Can it be closed?
Comment 10 Jorge Paulo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-24 17:42:07 UTC
Luca, can this guide be linked from the main docs index or would you prefer to keep it on hold for now?

Note that it is currently in cvs and can seen at:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml

Comment 11 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2003-06-24 18:18:38 UTC
seems ok

just typo hunt a bit for stuff like :
s/sugest/suggest
and such
Comment 12 Jorge Paulo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-24 18:46:51 UTC
Corrected typos.  Capitalized where required.  Commited to cvs and ready to be linked.

Any suggestions where to place it in the main docs index?  Under System Configuration Documentation? Or Application Documentation?  Or?
Comment 13 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2003-06-24 20:13:36 UTC
system configuration should do
Comment 14 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-16 06:24:01 UTC
Linked to the main documentation page.
