Manuel,
Hi. Are you able to make this work? I'm not. (so far...)
1) I emerged ati-drivers-8.18.8-r1. Is that new enough?
lightning ~ # emerge -pv ati-drivers
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-video/ati-drivers-8.18.8-r1 +opengl 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB

2) I ran the app referenced in the emerge output to set up xrog.config:
aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
3) I looked at xorg.conf. It looks OK, if a bit confusing. Now it
appears that the developers are attempting to make a single xorg.conf
that works with either the radeon driver or the fglrx driver? That
would be nice.
4) I switched to fglrx in /etc/modules.audtoload.d/kernel.2.6 and rebooted.
5) fglrx did not load:
lightning ~ # lsmod | grep fglrx
lightning ~ #
6) Xorg.0.log results:
NOTE: There is no DRI for PCI Express cards yet. 2.6.15 I'm told.
lightning ~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
