Subject: Gentoo + X + Old ATI Rage Pro card
PLUG'ers

I know there are some Gentoo pilots and some X gurus here, so I thought I would ask here before going over to xfree-newbies or gentoo-users.

I have a gentoo server that I have never run X on. No reason to run a GUI on a server. ;~) Well, now I have a honeypot project where I need to create a bunch of virtual machines. I want to experiment with VMWare for this, so I am moving to a new server and giving up this gentoo server for this (sweet) project. Heh.

Now, the server has the following video card.
# lspci -vv -s 01:00.0

I already emerged xfree and ati-drivers.
# emerge -p xfree ati-drivers
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3
[ebuild R ] media-video/ati-drivers-3.2.8


When I run `XFree86 -configure`, it aborts with:
Fatal server error:
no screens found


The log at /var/log/XFree86.0.log is FULL of messages, but they are all Informational (II), except these:
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(EE) No devices detected.


I doubt the Warning (WW) about APM matters. I do not have APM support configured on this server. I think the last two lines describe the problem. I do not appear to have a driver suitable for the ATI card it is probing on PCI 01:00.0.


What am I missing?
