gentoo - notes

The following options should improve performance of a Radeon graphics card:

• Option "AGPMode" "4"
• Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"
• Option "AGPFastWrite" "True"

I have dual monitors and for some reason this line:
    (WW) RADEON(1): Only one monitor detected, Second screen will NOT be created
started appearing, and the desktop was cloned. Adding (in the device section):
    Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT, CRT"
will hopefully fix this.

Also while debugging my XF86Config file, I discovered that it was reading the file from /root, rather than /etc/X11. Finally saw the line Using config file: "/root/XF86Config"
