14 VIDEO_CARDS="ati" is not a valid option. Check "emerge -pv xorg-x11",
15 it will list the valid options. You can use "radeon", "mach64", or
16 "r128", to bring in xf86-video-ati, aka the open-source "ati" and
17 "radeon" drivers. Or you can use "fglrx" to bring in the proprietary
18 ATI drivers.
