[gentoo-amd64] Installing ATI Radeon 7000 driver

[Clemente Aguiar]

Up to now my experience with Linux and Gentoo in particular has been
with servers, but now I have to install a "workstation" with KDE. I have
done just that and found out that the resolution is VGA (which I guess
is because I did not have the video driver installed).

The machine has a - ATI Radeon 7000 - RV100 Video controller.
# lspci -v
01:06.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY
[Radeon 7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: IBM Unknown device 02c8
        Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
        Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        I/O ports at 3000 [size=256]
        Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at f8020000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
------

I installed the ati-drivers but get lots of undefined symbols.

Then when I try to load the modules it gives an error:

FATAL: Error inserting fglrx

Can anybody help me out?
