I've done everything as specified in the AMD64 ATI FAQ on the forums, but X will not load fglrx, no matter what I do. The error I get each time I try to startx is: (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI (II) LoadModule: "fglrx" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx" (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0) (II) LoadModule: "mouse" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/modules/input/mouse_drv.o (II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.4 (II) LoadModule: "kbd" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/modules/input/kbd_drv.o (II) Module kbd: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.4 (EE) No drivers available.

It looks like ati-drivers get installed into /usr/lib/modules/ but xorg-x11 doesn't look in there, just into /usr/lib64/modules/ I did a weird workaround of symlinking ati modules located in lib into lib64. Now xorg-x11 can load them but I feel there are still some uncovered parts.

export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/modules/dri That line above solved the problem... could anybody add to the ebuild a script that sets that variable to /etc/env.d/??
Doesn't that prevent 64-bit opengl from working? I'd think you'd need both paths in there.
Perhaps yes, but didn't notice... which is your alternative?
Try connecting the two locations with colons, kinda like a PATH entry.
That's fine: export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/modules/dri:/usr/lib/modules/dri But the problem I saw first is that this variable was UNSET... anyway, let's add a lil script to the ati-drivers ebuild or, at least, a notification.
I guess the path was updated.
