ati drivers.

Hi. I installed gentoo. It`s very cool system. But i have problem with ati
drivers for HD3850 agp. Proprietary driver have not 2D acceleration. When i
moved window then cpu loads on 95%. Open source driver have not 3D
acceleration and after system startup videocard settings falls to
640x480 [at] 60Hz When i enter to display settings then settings returns to my
1024x768 [at] 85Hz Help me with settings.

I don't know the HD3850 card.

From the x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 FAQ
2. Which ATI graphics cards can use this driver?

The ATI Proprietary Linux driver currently supports RADEON 8500 and later,
as well as FireGL 8700 and later products. We do not currently plan to include
support for any products earlier than this.
Drivers for earlier products should already be available from the DRI Project or Utah-GLX project.

Here, I have a Readon HD 3300 (onboard) and xorg-server-1.6.5 .
Using the x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 graphics is really fast
including googleearth.

But, as noted earlier, these ati-drivers don't work with
xorg-server-1.7.1

I have xorg-server: 1.6.3.901-r2, and xorg-x11: 7.4-r1. Were is the x11-

on the AMD homepage.

Don't worry, your card is supported by catalyst 9.10, will be supported by
9.11 and probably be supported by 9.12

Just use the ati-drivers package - and patch xorg so it won't suck in 2d.

Great timing, as I need to revisit my wireless options and
strategies on several laptops.

One can always look at the options:
'ls /usr/portage/net-wireless'

but, it is nice when folks comment on what works well with
kde4, as that is my issue too.

http://gentoo-portage.com/net-wireless/
gives a great interface and let's you know a bit more info.

net-wireless/waveselect
looks promising?
Do post back what you end up using.....

That should be OK. I don't know where to find the FAQ except after
having x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.10 installed.
The you can find it under
/usr/share/doc/ati-drivers-9.10/html/fglrx/driverfaq.html
/usr/share/doc/ati-drivers-9.10/html/fglrx/linuxfaq.html

is correct link.

Some time ago a 'fix' was added in X that makes 2d with ati-drivers (and nvidia
drivers) painfully slow. That forum thread explains how to undo the damge.
