I've got a brand new AMD64, which I'm installing 32-bit Gentoo on.
When setting up a system figuring out which drivers to build, my options
are...

  Plan A) Boot Gentoo install CD and run "lsmod" to see which modules
are loaded, so I know what to use.  If The Gentoo install CD can't
recognize some devices...

  Plan B) Post a message to the Gentoo list asking for help<g>.  The two
devices are...
  1) ATI PowerColor X300 SE video card
  2) Sound chip

  Which drivers do I use?  "lspci -v" shows the following.  Note two
entries for the video card!
