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)...
