POST-INSTALL

|
|
Use opt/gl-select from ports to select the correct gl/glx
|
|
libraries and extensions like so:
|
|
|
|
# gl-select use ati
|
|
|
|
Also to configure your X server you can execute ati configurator like so:
|
|
|
|
# aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
|
|
|
|
And if you want, you can start the ati external events daemon at
|
|
/etc/rc.d/atieventsd, like so:
|
|
|
|
# service atieventsd start
|
|
|
|
|
|
POST-REMOVE
|
|
|
|
Use opt/gl-select from ports to revert to the xorg gl/glx libraries
|
|
and extensions like so:
|
|
|
|
# gl-select use xorg
|
|
|
|
|
|
When UPGRADING/DOWNGRADING the ati-driver port (where the version changes),
|
|
use gl-select to revert to xorg and then re-select ati in order to
|
|
refresh the libGLcore and libGL symlinks, like so:
|
|
|
|
# prt-get update ati
|
|
# gl-select use xorg; gl-select use ati
|
