Hi!
I have a ATI Radeon HD3870X2 and using Gentoo x64 with KDE4.
The thing is that I can't get it to work fully.
I did take the open-source drivers (the ones who comes from portage) and installed them, also added "radeon" to xorg.conf, because "radeonhd" didn't work (black screen).
What I really want is to have all desktop effects working (Desktop cube, fade, wobbly windows etc).
There are some effects that does work, but that is because I use XRender (software graphic support I guess, because it's slowm guess doesn't include 3D support), but can't use OpenGL (I think because I don't have the right drivers).
I have tried also "fglrx" drivers, but they gave an error on X startup.
When trying to run CCC or aticonfig it says I don't have a supported device.
Also I seen some chats about that 3D isn't very stable on x64, but right now I don't care about that.
Can you please tell me what I need to add and where so I can get atleast a temporary 3D support?
Also glxgears gives me about 500 FPS so that would mean that I'm using software 3D support.
I added the log and config file to this post, check this until the mod will accept my post ^^
