   Having the same problem with Radeon HD 2400 and 6870

   Need some help getting ATI Radeon HD2400xt, ATI Radeon HD6870 drivers working
   with OpenGL support.

   This is what i have tried so far with no luck

   1 - Activated driver from slitaz ATI Radeon
   2 - tested this: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:xorg-xvesa#ati-cards
   plus a bunch other suggestions out there, even converted debian i386 flgrs drivers
   with no luck
   and tested to download and install AMD.com drivers for linux with no luck.

   Guys and Girls i really would love some help here, im stuck without a working
   graphics driver except defaul without OpenGL support....

   Let me put the question like this, has anyone got the ATI Drivers working either
   on 3.0 or 4.0 slitaz with OpenGL working?

   Sincerally

   Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 vga=791 might be my problem?

   I had to set vga=791 to be able to see anything on screen or else my screen just go black.

   hmm ive added in x11 config to use radeonhd correct resolutions are being showed and seem to work except
   tux@slitaz:~$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
   OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
   software renderer? there
   tux@slitaz:~$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
   OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
   is my problem, how do i fix that??
   OpenGL is set to software renderer....

   laggy when viewing homepages

   can i force it to use radeonhd OpenGL mode and not sofware renderer or what its called? ;)

   Do you have firmware-radeon installed?
   Paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log at paste.slitaz.org
   Post the link in your reply.

   ok lets start this from the begining.

   i have to add vga=791 for the screen not to go black (turn of iguess)
   probebly couse it cant handle resolution or refreshrate or something

   is there any file i can manually alter so i dont have to add vga=791
   for example max resolution to use in my case that would be 1280x800 (its a laptop)
   refresh rate (60hz) ? i really dont know why screen works when adding vga command
   and not when not using the vga command.

   Have a feeling adding the vga=791 command might override the radeon driver

   I boot my desktop with ATI R5450 with vga=791
   The only difference is framebuffer with 2 tux logos on top.
   tux@slitaz:~$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
   OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR
   vga=791 does not disable direct hardware rendering on my hardware.

    btw this is whats installed:
    firmware-radeon
    xorg-xf86-video-radeonhd

    or what files are you having installed?

    is it suppose to be: xorg-xf86-video-ati instead of xorg-xf86-video-radeonhd?
