18 I had my good times with ATI. Not with your specific model, of course.
19 Each different card acts in a different way and everything I needed to
20 know was outside in the web. Your problem is not really a Gentoo one,
21 its an ATI one. For a start try:
22
23 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
24 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml
25
26 And if that does not work, go for the web, foruns, etc...
27
28 Good luck (you'll need it)...
