I'm at a loss. Can some kind soul please point me in the right
direction toward the steps needed to get 3D acceleration on my laptop?
Should I be using x11 or ATI drivers? And if ATI drivers, any idea what
is might be conflicting in my kernel?
No conflict in your kernel - the "taint" message means that you have
loaded a closed-source driver into your kernel - nothing to worry
about (unless you are interested in running a completely free/libre
system).
Can you post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
Thank you for your posts.
OK, I tried starting over again as when I wrote the above post, I wasn't
trying to use the ati-driver. So I emerged ati-driver. However, when
attempting to load the fglrx I get an "Operation not permitted error" (I
remember this now). I am logged on as root. Please see this output:

So, I am confused. What exactly should "VIDEO_CARDS=" setting be in
/etc/make.conf? ="radeon"? ="fglrx"? ="radeon fglrx"? I think I need to
be sure I have everything set right, be sure to un-emerge any
conflicting ports, and then re-emerge the proper ports. Can someone
please point out the steps?
Thanks,
Drew
