The ATI drivers (tested witdh version 8.39.4, but this presumably holds for every version) depend on libXrandr. This dependency is missing from the ebuild and is not emerged either as part of any other dependency. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start with a clean system 2. install gentoo linux following the handbook 3. set VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx" in make.conf and emerge xorg-server 4. as an example: try running aticonfig Actual Results: aticonfig will not start because libXrandr is missing

Could/should x11-libs/libXrandr not be set as a dependency of ati-drivers in the ati-drivers ebuild?
atieventsd, amdcccle and aticonfig depend on libXrandr: ldd amdcccle libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x0000003177400000) So, confirming this.
