Do you use >=xfree-4.3.99 or xfree-4.3 ? If you use xfree-4.3 and have configured to use the radeon driver in XF86Config, that's a know issue. 4.3 doesn't work with newer Radeons. You could then: 1. Switch to "vesa" driver for xfree-4.3 2. Emerge xfree-4.3.99.902-r2 (latest 4.4 beta, still masked). This works well for many amd64 user, including myself. It would also be helpful if you could provide your emerge info... And please attach your XF86Config. i'm on an amd64 box and kde works here, so this isn't a kde bug. you also mentioned using a radeon, which has known issues with 4.3. i'd say that xfree 4.3 is unofficially deprecated on gentoo/amd64 anyways, due to a number of issues not even related to driver support... it's not up to me, but if it were xfree would be officially deprecated as soon as xorg-x11 is marked stable. please install xorg-x11 with: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge xorg-x11 and let us know how you do. if this fixes things, it might even be possible to whip up a patch for xfree... but since i dont have an ATI (and I dont think any other amd64 devs do), I dont know if that would actually get done. works for me. re-open this bug if you continue to have problems... |
