**This is what my laptop's screen with a newly installed Gentoo system
running twm to test X looks like (attached image). It's distorted with
overlapping and mirrored image. I have a Dell Latitude C800 with the video
card.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee
ATI Rage Mobility M4 AGP [1002:4d46]
Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:00a3]
Kernel driver in use: aty128fb

Yes, I have compiled the r128 driver directly into the kernel. Various
people around the internet had posted xorg.conf that was supposed "ati" as
the driver. I do not have that driver. I substituted in the same xorg.conf
with r128, and I still had the same issue. I tried with no xorg.conf (the
default), and I couldn't startx, errored and crashed. I had also tried X
-configure and had the same distorted screen. I know it is possible to get
this working just fine. I had it working just fine in Arch Linux with r128.
I really don't want to go back to using Arch. I already used fdisk on it to
install this new Gentoo system.
