Use opt/gl-select from ports to select the correct gl/glx
libraries and extensions like so:
# gl-select 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 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 xorg; gl-select ati
