I already have broken composite (or rather, no composite at all) and
neither aiglx :D (4870 with x11-drivers/radeonhd). At least with this
one the card isn't frying itself (no power management with OSS drivers)
and I have OpenGL working (no 3D with OSS drivers).
The problem btw was that portage was lying to me. It's not ati-drivers
blocking xorg-server, but the other way around; xorg-server is blocking
ati-drivers. :P
I got them to install. They run better than the open source drivers :P
