I receive an error when I try to modprobe the fglrx module. The error message is: FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo-r9/video/fglrx.ko): No such device This is the output from dmesg: [fglrx:firegl_init] *ERROR* Device not found!

But, according to the change logs for the ati-drivers support was added for the integrated graphic adapters in 8.13.4: *ati-drivers-8.13.4 (25 Jun 2005) 25 Jun 2005; Luca Barbato <lu_zero@gentoo.org> +ati-drivers-8.13.4.ebuild: New Xpress 200 driver, p.masked as usual since I cannot test it Any insight appreciated, Thanks, Nes ps: If I modify the xorg.conf generated by fglrxconfig and change the driver from fglrx to vesa, I can start X. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge at-drivers (latest version ati-drivers-8.14.13-r2) 2. modprobe fglrx 3. Actual Results: Error message, fglrx module not loaded. Expected Results: No errors, fglrx module loaded.

Please try the currently masked .16.20 I'll unmask it as soon I could figure out how to avoid the configuration issues too many people are having
Okay, emerged 8.16.20 and that allowed me to load the gflrx module. Thanks. USE="opengl" emerge /usr/portage/media-video/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.16.20.ebuild I'll close this bug.
