You should try $ sudo emerge -va =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5 Note that the precise path (before the slash) is mandatory, as is the `=' sign. You don't have to copy the stuff into portage/distfiles, but maybe your xorg-version could block the merge. Try downgrading then. But I'm not sure if this could help with your issues.
