In your /etc/make.conf, use this:
I am using ATI 4350 card. so is that
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r700"
No. There is no driver called "r700". The driver is called "r600" and
it drives R600 chips and newer.
I'm getting confused ... I thought that the driver is radeon and r600 is the
firmware blob.
"r600" is the driver. Mesa needs that. "radeon" is more of a USE
flag, needed by various ebuilds (for example "x11-base/xorg-drivers",
"sys-power/pm-utils" and also "media-libs/mesa"). But it should be in
VIDEO_CARDS, not in USE.
Does this need adding to /etc/make.conf?
Yes. Everyone who uses an AMD card should have "radeon" in VIDEO_CARDS,
followed by either "r300" or "r600". Of course only when we're taking
about the X.Org drivers. If you're going to use the Catalyst
proprietary drivers, you should put "fglrx" in VIDEO_CARDS.
