Ponder, only if you use Portage, given that ati-drivers-11.8 is no longer in the Entropy repository. Actually ati-drivers-11.10 should also work with X.Org Server 1.11.x, so you could try that instead. You will still need to use Portage either way, though.
- Code: Select all
# # If this is your first time using Portage then set it up:
# equo install git # Sabayon overlays use Git.
# emerge --sync # Download ebuilds for Portage main tree.
# layman -S # Download Portage overlays list and update ebuilds of any already-added overlays.
# layman -d sabayon # Just in case you have the old monolithic Sabayon overlay added.
# layman -a sabayon # Add the first of the two new split Sabayon overlays.
# layman -a sabayon-distro # Add the second of the two new split Sabayon overlays.
# layman -S # Make sure all overlays are now updated.
# # Now you can install the driver module:
# emerge -1v =ati-drivers-11.8 # Unlike the Sabayon ati-drivers ebuild, amdcccle is also installed by this Gentoo ebuild.
# eselect opengl set ati # The merge above should do this but may as well be sure.
# equo rescue spmsync # Tell Entropy what you did via Portage.
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver # Just to check FGLRX is specified.
Then reboot.
Note that amdcccle will probably tell you that the version of the Catalyst driver is still 11.12 (or whatever version it was that you were using before doing the above). There is some black magic to sort that out but it's not worth bothering with at the moment (I'll list the incantations some other time if you get through the above successfully).
