There are two problems with emerging ati-drivers-8.18.8 on kernel 2.6.14. The first is a unknown symbol verify_area. The problem and a quick-and-dirty solution is described here: http://www.colino.net/wordpress-1.5/archives/2005/10/ . The second one is this: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.18.8/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/libfglrx_ip.a.GCC3', needed by `/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.18.8/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/fglrx.o'. Stop May be this must be fixed by Ati?

verify_area/access_ok is already fixed, the problem you you are referring is probably due your xorg version probably
I've emerged gentoo-sources-2.6.14 and xorg-server-0.99.2-r1 and followed this article in the Gentoo Wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg .
Here is a ati bug report with a fix that seems related, I am using AMD64 and have the problem that has been described. Ati's site: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=211 And a related gentoo forum post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-397969.html George
George, thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it didn't help for me (2.6.14 on x86, xorg-server-0.99.2-r1)
Now should be fixed.
Unfortunately, the fix didn't work for me: [..] * Applying fglrx-2.6.14-access_ok.patch ... [ ok ] >>> Source unpacked. * Building the DRM module...

Ok, I've found out, that it has to do with the recognition of my xorg-version and not with kernel 2.6.14. I close this bug again and put my info in corresponding bug 111148.
