I changed to x11-base/xorg-x11 v6.8.2 and to media-video/ati-drivers v8.8.25-r3. I have changed to sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources v2.6.10-r7, too, to meet the requirements as I have found by bugzilla. 1. I have executed /opt/ati/bin/fglrxconfig and expected it to overwrite my existing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 as it said to do so, but it didn't but took my older XF86Config at /etc/X11. 2. fglrxconfig make an uppercase mistake at the config file: ---snippet on--- Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "Keyboard" ---snippet off--- which causes startx to fail, because it can't find a keyboard module. The word "Keyboard" at the Driver line is wrong, it has to be all small cases: Driver "keyboard" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. executing /opt/ati/bin/fglrxconfig 2. Not touching /etc/X11/XF86Config 3. startx Actual Results: X failed to start because it can't find a keyboard module Expected Results: mind the case settings X needs to find its modules.

Please try the .10.19, it has a better xorg-x11 support. The kernel issues are now solved, the 2.6.11 support is working now.
the driver name is kbd
Created attachment 51720 [details] I renamed the file, it was XF86Config when it was created and I have symlinked it to XF86Config Hi Luca, thanx for your work concerning the kernel, but my issue was targeting the ebuild or a missing patch for fglrxconfig. Sorry for not having mentioned this. It is the wrong config file named (XF86Config-4, but XF86Config is used) by fglrxconfig and the fact about the wrong case _in_ the config file which is also done by fglrxconfig. BTW: the module "keyboard" works fine and I have tried bzflag and Wolfenstein "Enemy Territory" so far with excellent results and no problems at all. So I thought, the ebuild or a patch could fix these problems I have encountered. I have enclosed the config file, slightly altered by me to get it running.
I can't do so much about fglrxconfig since I don't have the source for it.
