Since you've keyworded gentoo-sources, you may as well keyword ati-drivers. Either that, or un-keyword gentoo-sources.
Reopen, we'll need something newer stable for 2.6.24.
nothing newer is needed. The check was not performed to ensure pci_legacy was built into the kernel which ati-drivers currently depends on.

This is the best solution to resolve the problem the new driver is too new to go to stable IMO.
Done deal.
1. emerge --sync 2. Added CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY=y in my config and compile/install the new kernel 3. Reboot into new kernel and issue "module-rebuild rebuild" which completed successfully.
