Hi all friends, I really like this situations because we learn so much...I have to thank you to all for this experience...
Well we got a lot of work to do for help Johannes. You fell confortable installing the ati-drivers manually?, if your aswer is Yes, then: 1.- Disable all support for ati in the kernel 2.- Enable the framebuffer console like http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash, because I know (for sure) you want a grubsplash and bootsplash :D : 3.- Unmerge all ati driver you have installed. 4.- Execute manually the installation and finally aticonfig --initial, and startx. Note : I have : X.org : X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux dta-desktop 2.6.21-gentoo #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 9 17:07:22 VET 2007 i686 Build Date: 28 February 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present Kernel : 2.6.21-gentoo #3 SMP PREEMPT (but I has 2.6.20-r6,r7,r8) and it works too. Ati Card : ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 $fglrxinfo OpenGL vendor string : ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string : ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 OpenGL version string : 2.0.6458 (8.36.5) If your answer is No. Try with #ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ati-drivers, in my case is * x11-apps/ati-drivers-extra Latest version available: 8.33.6 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 57,246 kB Homepage: http://www.ati.com Description: Ati precompiled drivers extra application License: ATI GPL-2 QPL-1.0 * x11-drivers/ati-drivers Latest version available: 8.35.5 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 55,971 kB Homepage: http://www.ati.com Description: Ati precompiled drivers for recent chipsets License: ATI GPL-2 QPL-1.0 Emerge the 8.35.5 and aticonfig --initial I hope this help you...Please comment us your experience...

On my system: 12:40:11 | 1 $ emerge -p =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 USE="acpi opengl -doc" [blocks B ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0) This means it is not fine to install them with a newer x-server on my arch (x86).
