The xorg-x11 requires radeon_drv.so, which will only be built if you someho= w=20 tell it to do so. Thereafter you may want the kernel ATI modules (select=20 them when you build your kernel) or the fglrx module in which case run emer= ge=20 ati-drivers. That's how I understand it to be; not sure if things have=20 changed since I set up one of my boxen.
