You can use the keyworded xorg-server package from the official portage tree (1.7.*). I'm not having any problems with it. But I guess if you want you could also stick with 1.6.5 for now. > I'll investigate unmasking > the newer stuff, but I don't see libdrm_radeon anywhere as of yet. You only need to unmask kernel 2.6.24, xf86-video-ati-9999, libdrm-9999 (or 2.4.20) and mesa-9999 (recommended). BTW: the "-9999" ebuilds come from the X11 overlay. I do not know about 5xxx and firmware, but with my 3870 I need to compile some firmware-blob into the kernel (option in kernel config). Maybe this also applies to 5xxx cards.
