Later... that very same evening... OK, I've installed ati-drivers with /etc/make.conf containing VIDEO_CARDS="vesa fglrx" I did "eselect opengl ati", ran aticonfig, and did the setup as per http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers (including reboot and re-install of ati-drivers) Testing with glxgears, I get...
