        Okay, I have:

*  x11-base/x11-drm

# lsmod

and nothing in /dev/dri, which may explain:

(II) fglrx(0): UMM area:     0xc08f7000 (size=0x076f9000)
(II) fglrx(0): driver needs X.org 6.8.x

(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit

(this is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

and, finally:

[fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR* Unable to the open some already present 
DRM kernel module!

So, what am I doing wrong?

The drm module seems to be the problem child, once I added that, fglrx got 
tempermental...
