(think its part of xf86-video-ati). You want to unmerge ati-drivers if they have proved unstable (no surprise there...) I'm very interested as I've been using a 9550 with HW accel enabled + Xorg (6.9) with the radeon driver in FreeBSD 6 without any problems at all. This encourages me to think they should work in Gentoo as well...(crosses fingers) as I'm in the process of building my mother a machine running Gentoo and have one of these (a 9200) lying around and am intending to use it....
