How about if you run eselect opengl set ati? And which ati-drivers version is this about?

This is after I've run "eselect opengl set ati" and the message comes from AIGLX. The version of the drivers is 8.32.5 and I got them from Portage.
I'm running 2.6.19-r5 kernel.

Well, so try w/ >=8.34.8

Comment 4 Michael Schnake 2007-04-20 10:32:47 UTC

AFAIK ati-drivers do not work with AIGLX at all (because "ATI does not support AIGLX", not a thing the ebuild or gentoo could do anything about).

Or do the current linux drivers from ATI support AIGLX now at last? That would be what I call great news ;-)
