54 I don't use ATI but I think I read here a while back that ATI drivers
55 have to be compatible with certain versions of xorg. You may want to
56 see if you can use a newer version of the ATI drivers.
57
58 You can look at the ebuild to see what exact versions. From what i
59 read, it looks like you may need the 10 series instead of the 9 series.
60 Then again, it is sometimes backwards from what I am thinking. May be
61 worth testing anyway.
