Hi all ! I'm a new user of Sabayon, everything is great with this distri but I can't get the ATI driver working.
I'have installed the ati driver (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-11.8#2.6.39-sabayon)
but I'm stuck with the VESA : M92
I'have read the wiki, trying to follow the tuto, but nothing works... What can I do now??
thanks

Hi
Zaibon, welcome to the Sabayon Forums
Could you post the output of:
- Code: Select all
eselect opengl list
glxinfo | grep render
and the contents of:
/etc/X11/xorg.confplease, use [ Code ] tags for each output/content, to make your post more readable

According to that output, you are using the proprietary ATI drivers, why do you think that this is not the case?

That image shouldn't be an absolute indicator, also because ATI drivers get insane with GNOME3... Install a game and see how fast it runs (check Frame/sec). You can also check 3d acceleration with amdcccle.
Please, use another DE and see if 3D works there.
