Up to now my experience with Linux and Gentoo in particular has been
with servers, but now I have to install a "workstation" with KDE. I have
done just that and found out that the resolution is VGA (which I guess
is because I did not have the video driver installed).
The machine has a - ATI Radeon 7000 - RV100 Video controller.
# lspci -v
01:06.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY
[Radeon 7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA])

[virtual] Expansion ROM at f8020000 [disabled] [size=128K]

I installed the ati-drivers but get lots of undefined symbols.

Then when I try to load the modules it gives an error:
