Good afternoon everyone!  I have recently purchased a new computer, but have encountered problems when trying to load the correct Xorg driver.  The motherboard and CPU use the new AMD APU's (working as both a CPU and video card) so I thought I could load the xf86-video-ati driver and be done with it...  Unfortunately it looks like I was mistaken.  If I load that video driver, the boot process ends with a highly distorted screen.  Currently I'm using the xf86-video-vesa driver, but would like to get the benefits from the actual driver.  Thoughts anyone?

Thanks,
Dave

Your graphics part is too new for our current kernel. You can build a custom kernel, or wait for the next major release.

The support for Richland was added in 3.9 and tuned in 3.10.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Gotcha!  When will the next major release of TC come out?  I was interested in compiling my own kernel anyways and have touched on it in another thread.  Where can I get the current .config file for the kernel?

Thanks,
Dave
