In case of trouble, it's a good idea to try compiling into the kernel or as modules, the kernels DRM or x11-base/x11-drm ebuild, lower AGP from 4x to 2x or 1x in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (doesn't even have to lower FPS of glxgears)... Thanks. I've updated the guide so that the 2.4/2.6 distinction is less apparent (since they are now both equivalent). I didn't alter the troubleshooting though; I'll need more information (when did it occur and such) and within a new bug if possible. Thanks for changing it. I think section 2 is perfect now. |
