VIDEO_CARDS was/is set. The tweaking was in USE - 'png' was necessary before 'emerge cario'.

Oh good, all's well that ends well.

But I'm curious to know how the lack of the png USE flag to cairo caused 
X to not load your video driver per the original error message. Or was 
cairo just the last of several somewhat related things that had to be 
remerged?

 My question - how do I get/build this module?

Try to add VIDEO_CARDS=radeon into /etc/make.conf
But I consider it is better to use fglrx driver...
(x11-drivers/ati-drivers)

Add radeon in your /etc/make.conf under VIDEO_CARDS=radeon

All - thanx for the pointers. I had to 'emerge ati-drivers', then 'emerge cario', then emerge 'xorg-x11'. Also had to tweak /etc/make.conf a bit.All is good now.GpmOn 11/7/06,

Hang on a sec, if VIDEO_CARDS is empty or non-existent, doesn't the 
ebuild default to building all drivers, like 6.8 did? I never tried 
this myself, but I read it in a wiki HOWTO.

If true, surely Greg's problem would never have happened?
