Try adding VIDEO_CARDS=fglrx, rebuilding first by issuing `emerge -vuaDN world' and then by re-emerging your video drivers. Reopen this bug report if
(In reply to comment #1) > and then by re-emerging your video drivers. Reopen this bug report if ... the problem persists.
`emerge -vuaDN world' just does not work because of ... !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=net-misc/networkmanager-0.7" have been masked. ... (dependency required by "kde-base/kdebase-meta-4.2.0" [ebuild]) I will test it later.
