[gentoo-amd64] New ATI proprietary driver

[Chris Traylor]

Has anybody tried the new ATI driver? I did the emerge, and everything seemed fine. However, when I go to log in, any keypress or mouse click crashes the entire system. If I switch from the fglrx driver to the open source radeon driver everything works (or at least the things that the xorg driver supports, seems to work). I tried updating qt,kde, and reinstalling xorg 7.1, but all to no avail. I haven't gotten to trudging through the X logs yet, but I figured I'd go fishing for ideas, just in case, someone ran across this as well. Any ideas (sans a lecture about slaveryware from Duncan) would be appreciated.

Chris -- "But there are many others who are not bashful about using government power to do “good.”  They truly believe they can make the economy fair through a redistributive tax and spending system; make the people moral by regulating personal behavior and choices; and remake the world in our image using armies. They argue that the use of force to achieve good is legitimate and proper for government-- always speaking of the noble goals while ignoring the inevitable failures and evils caused by coercion." --Ron Paul
