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
