Hi all,

I recently upgraded my graphics card from Geforce 256 to Radeon 9000. I 
had my X-Server configured for Geforce-Support (including nvidia 
drivers and stuff) and now, I have some problems to get X running with 
my new Radeon 9000, even standard-VGA won`t start.
I tried and installed the (masked) ebuild with the latest ati-drivers. 
They come with their own utility to configure X, nevertheless, it isn`t 
running.
This is what I did:
unemerged both nvidia-driver packages (nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx), 
emerged the ati-drivers.
My newly created XF86Config looks like this:
http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0016145/XF86Config-4.txt
When I type "startx", the screen goes blank and returnes with an error.
The errorlog looks like this:
http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0016145/XFree86.0.log.txt
If I remove the glx-driver from the setup, there is not much 
improvement:
http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0016145/XFree86.0.log.without.glx.txt

The log says something about kernel 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 which was the 
kernel I compiled XFree with. I now use kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r2. Could 
there be a problem?

Please help.
Thanks

Gerrit
