I just did an emerge on Xorgautoconfig and ran the command, but the xorg.conf file it makes doesn't work - it tells me that ATI(0) Adapter has not been initialized, and Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
It sets Mode 1024x768 at several depths, which I can live with, and default mode of 16, which I can also live with. Now if I could just get it to work ... Thanks! Mark M.

There is an ebuild Xorgautoconfig specifically for this purpose. The generated xorg.conf needs some slight adjustments but seems to give good results. On Thursday 04 May 2006 7:34 am, Mark M.
