Summary: still hosed, and I'm still confused, and Xorg is having
trouble seeing the video adapter and with loading the mouse driver.

It tries to load "ati" on its own when I run "startx" with no
xorg.conf. Not my idea.
I'm not aware of having done anything to specify "ati", so I don't
know how to stop it. My focus on ati-drivers came from the fact that
portage really wants to compile it. I'm not sure how it knows I have
ATI, not for instance an Nvidia adapter -- probably something I did in
2002 when I first installed gentoo.
BTW: video is an integrated ATI Rage XL on the motherboard, so it's a tad o=
ld.
When I run aticonfig --initial, it says
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
So I tried putting the driver in xorg.conf, and using a modified
version of what worked with the old server, arrived at
Section "Device"
Identifier "ati-internal"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
RESULTS: fglrx loads, but does not see the adapter. There's also a
problem with the mouse driver -- some undefined symbol.
Not seeing the adapter scares me a bit. Could it be that my system is
no longer supported?
Ouput from "startx" (in part):
