Ignore what you see on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml about an "ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]" not needing a binary blob.

If the R200 blob is in /lib/firmware/radeon, it'll load, regardles of what i put in the kernel setup; e.g. [d530][root][~] dmesg | grep R200 [ 0.277947] [drm] Loading R200 Microcode notwitstanding that the kernel is set up like so...
