First I'd like to mention that installed via the downloaded installer it works perfectly without problems but via the ebuild I ran into the following: 1) Package is hard-masked on non-multilib amd64 (I unmasked it via /etc/portage/package.unmask) 2) Package was marked as depending on app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs which is hard-masked for good reason on non-multilib profiles (I manually removed dependency from ebuild) 3) sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 stopped being a dependency a long time ago, works perfectly with gcc4, no need to pull gcc3 in too (I manually removed dependency from ebuild) 4) >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.5 - amd provided installer works on x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 which I have installed on my machine (I manually removed dependency from ebuild) after doing all this and finally installing the package and doing a eselect opengl set ati xorg-server couldn't run because of a missing symbol miZeroLineScreenKey (see additional information) both before and after doing these I installed it by running ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run and it worked in both cases without any issues, no other changes were made on my system during these tests Reproducible: Always a copy of the most relevant part from xorg log (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/fonts//libtype1.so (II) Module type1: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.3.0, module version = 1.0.2 Module class: X.Org Font Renderer ABI class: X.Org Font Renderer, version 0.5 (II) Loading font Type1 (II) LoadModule: "fglrx" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so dlopen: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: miZeroLineScreenKey (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so (II) UnloadModule: "fglrx" (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (loader failed, 7) (II) LoadModule: "mouse" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input//mouse_drv.so (II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.3.0, module version = 1.2.3 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.7 (II) LoadModule: "kbd" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input//kbd_drv.so (II) Module kbd: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.3.0, module version = 1.1.0 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.7 (EE) No drivers available.

After a quite lot of testing done by [Ernico] we confirmed that it works on no-multilib. So removed the mask in their profile mask. Enjoy and sorry it took 7 months to confirm.
ok, thanks, maybe since you fixed it I'll give it a try again, I've been using the opensource drivers all this time, I'm curious about the differences
Well you need r600 based card or newer (HD series). Otherwise you will test exactly nothing :D
