With X.Org 7.0, you will need to install an ati-drivers package that supports modular X. I did a quick grep and came up with this: $ grep xorg-server ati-drivers-* -l ati-drivers-8.20.8.ebuild ati-drivers-8.21.7.ebuild ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1.ebuild ati-drivers-8.22.5.ebuild ati-drivers-8.23.7.ebuild ati-drivers-8.24.8.ebuild ati-drivers-8.25.18.ebuild ati-drivers-8.26.18.ebuild If one of those is already installed, you will need to reinstall it to get the correct, dlloader-using drivers. There should be no kernel requirement from X.Org, any kernel requirement will be by ati-drivers. Thanks, Donnie
