Whats the best way of installing the Radeon 6850HD official drivers as when I tried to install them it said there were already drivers in place and i need to purge them.

thanks

Hi morcar,
they should be used by default. You can check which drivers you are using with
Code: Select all
eselect opengl show

If it say's ATI or AMD (I'm not shure which of them) everything is fine.

If it say's something else use
Code: Select all
eselect opengl list
to list available drivers on your system and select your desired one with
Code: Select all
eselct opengl set X
X stand for the number you want to be your driver

cheers
