I recompile the kernel without any ati support and installed 8.35.5 driver without a problem. But aticonfig claims it can't run because of an invalid xorg.conf file and i can't generate a new one with 'Xorg -configure' it just prints this error: marvin / Xorg -configure X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: 22 January 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r7 i686 Current Operating System: Linux marvin 2.6.20-gentoo-r7 #6 SMP Fri May 11 17:52: 30 GMT 2007 i686 Build Date: 11 May 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Server aborting Aborted Currently I'm supporting the theory that Young Sun is right, and that the problem is the version of Xorg. Tomorrow I will try to uninstall the compiled drivers from ati and try the open source drivers. If that doesn't work I'm feeling inclined to buy a new nvidia card instead. Maybe I could also try to make the onboard S3 savage card work, although I have never been a big fan of graphic cards with shared memory. Thanks again for all the help....
