But: i) as to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers there is a third choise: CONFIG_DRM=n and emerge x11-drm; ii) in http://www.ati.com/products/catalyst/linux.html: Q7: What X-Windows versions are supported in this driver? A7: Driver packages are available for XFree86 versions 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, as well as X.Org 6.8. So they shouldn't work with Xorg 7.* (actually I had DRI working with Xorg 6.8....)

But I just can select "ATI radeon" if I select kernel drm: <M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) <M> ATI Radeon I do net get ati-agp compiled, and ... make modules should not be needed for kernels 2.6.* ;-) I'm a bit confused.....
