ATI 200m, no drivers?

[oleerik]

Hi, i've run emerge ati-drivers and aticonfig and it tells me that it is done.

But, when i try to run games that uses 3d it lags very much, and the ATI catalyst controll center wont boot because it cant find the drivers.

I cant figure this one out..

Have you tried the radeon or ati drivers as some work for older cards and some for newer.
Compiz fix recently posted can be used if this is enabled.

# glxgears
if this work then the driver is good but something else is slowing it down.

Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and remove the # before DRI

You can also try the live cd /dvd again and F5 to add the cheat codes " xdriver=radeon res=1024x768 " and see if any better using glxgears once inside.

There should be a how-to in the wiki top right of this page related to ati cards and their config or similar in gentoo forums / wiki.
