How? I run eix-sync and at that point it's no longer in
/usr/portage/distfiles.
AFAIK, eix-sync doesn't touch $DISTDIR. If it does, that's a

I havent been following this thread but have you checked the open source

- Radeon driver (module is named ati)
- Radeonhd driver (module is named radeon)

I am scanning the /var/log/Xorg.0.log looking for info on what chip
this is. I'm not finding anything that says what Radeon family it's
part of. lspci tells me what I posted here already - that it's part of

It's radeon in recent X.Org, not ati. Not sure when that
changed. Probably with xorg-server 1.5.
Damn - I had checked the /usr/portage/x11-drivers directory and the
