I'll email my xorg.conf that works with my ati-1900 as a reference. |

Um, I'm not sure it matters. Try ati-drivers first and it |
| 12 |
may want to pull in xorg first. In that case, the answer is |
| 13 |
org. If not, it does not matter. |

Remember, at some point, after you build a kernel, you have |
| 17 |
to run modules-update, but surf the various gentoo web pages |
| 18 |
on Ati to get that answer. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
follow the main gentoo web page: |

<this last pages says that your 9550 card is supported by |
| 24 |
the ati-binary driver. |

I'll try and help you thru this, but, realize I'm not whiz |
| 28 |
at ati-driver obscurity issues..... |

That said, keep a precise log of what you do, what fails and |
| 31 |
what works, and maybe between us, we can develop a simple |
| 32 |
ascii text file that works and is current..... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I'll be back online in 3-4 hours to check your progress. |

Hang in there, |
