I had my good times with ATI. Not with your specific model, of course.
Each different card acts in a different way and everything I needed to
know was outside in the web. Your problem is not really a Gentoo one,
its an ATI one. For a start try:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml

And if that does not work, go for the web, foruns, etc...

Good luck (you'll need it)...

the fglrx (ati precompiled driver) don't support this card anymore.
please use the open source one.

emerge -av xf86-video-ati

and don't forget to adapt your xorg.conf.
