ATI radeon HD 3200 driver [Solved]

[luba]

Hi everyone,I have problem with installing driver for my graphic card(ATI radeon HD 3200) on my laptop(Acer Extensa 5430).When I try to install the official driver for the graphic card, I get this message:One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system.Do you know how to install driver for my graphic card? (Sorry if my english isn't good)

You need the xf86-video-ati driver, it should be already installed.
If it's not the case, you'll install it with:

Code: Select all

equo install xf86-video-ati

After that, check opengl with

Code: Select all

eselect opengl list

xorg-x11 should be selected - should be marked with an asterisk like this:

Code: Select all

Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   xorg-x11 *

If something different is selected run

Code: Select all

eselect opengl set  xorg-x11

to change it.

Another thing to check is, if the radeon module gets loaded. Look in /etc/conf.d/modules and you should have the following line there:

Code: Select all

modules="radeon"

If it's missing, just add it.

After reboot the the open source driver should be used (actually it's the only one which works with your card).

I checked that and everything is all right,but openGL still doesn't work.Interesting is that when I start Sabayon from DVD, openGL is working(all compiz effects),but when I install it on my Hard disk it isn't working anymore.Also I can't run Sabayon DVD normally,but only in debug mode.

Problem with OpenGL solved.When I was booting system I removed vga=791 in boot options and then I installed Sabayon normally.Everything works fine now.Thank you for your help.
