lscpi reveals:

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf
[Radeon Mobility 9000 M9] (rev 01)


So I need to add MESA to get OpenGL fixed?
media-libs/mesa [ Masked ]
      Latest version available: 6.4
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]

Any other way to get opengl working with the radeon kernel driver?

Should/can I use ati-drivers? or should I stick with the radeon
supplied binary driver?
