Description Charlie Gehlin 2006-12-28 23:03:02 UTC
Hi!

It appears that I couldn't make use of the latest ati-drivers with my laptop so I started poking around and got to that point where I found out that fglrx doesn't support the R250 chipset. The very latest I could manage to get working was ati-drivers-8.28.8. Therefore I suggest that ebuilds above that exclude the R250 (maybe even R200?) chipset(s) from their descriptions. I'm also about to file another bug about making a new ebuild, ati-legacy-drivers so that we on "legacy" chipsets can have dri/3D a bit longer :)

From console when trying to startx with unsupported chipset:
