ati opengl apps

[phlo]

I got everything working with my nvidia card on my workstation with adding the missing flags in the make.conf but it doesn't work with my ati.
I am using on my laptop 3.4f with an X1400. on my Workstation with nvidia and 3.4f 64bit everything is fine

Any tricks to get opengl with ati running?

To bring this up again.

My X700 is still not running ok.
i added opengl to the make.conf and emerged ati-drivers again, but no changes.
Compiz works fine, but no other opengl application (like googleearth) I also emerged googleearth again.
So what up with it?
Are we alone here with this problem? I can't belive it, and I would be happy to stablize 3.4f a lot more, because as it is right now, it is really disapionting and annoying.
I would wait für 3.4++ or 3.5 but how long does it take, is it really working with the new release?
I don't see any fixes her für 3.4f so why should it be different in new releases?
Please guys, help us a liitle bit more out to fix bugs to get SL stable.

thanks a lot

If I'm not mistaken, apps like Googleearth require direct rendering, which XGL doesn't support. So to use them, you'd have to disable XGL. Supposedly the 8.42 ati driver, which is suppose to be out by the end of October, will support AIGLX and will solve all of our problems. They are currently at release 8.41, which was released last month, but I can't find it in portage (maybe it's not stable enough to be included, because it is a complete rewrite of the driver code as opposed to an update of the code...more info on ati drivers can be found at http://www.phoronix.com)
