For your graphics card, install this firmware package: x11-drivers/radeon-ucode Then, enable the following options in your kernel configuration (the usual "make menuconfig" deal): Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> <*> Direct Rendering Manager -> <*> ATI Radeon [*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default In the "Support for frame buffer devices" section, make sure that all other drivers (including the VESA one) are disabled, or else its going to conflict with the Radeon modesetting driver. In your /etc/make.conf, use this: VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r600" Now for your sound card. According to your mainboard's specs: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2/M2AMX/#specifications It has an ALC662 audio chip. That chip is made by Realtek. So in your kernel config, enable: Device Drivers -> <*> Sound card support -> <*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture -> [*] PCI sound devices -> <*> Intel HD Audio -> [*] Build Realtek HD-audio codec support Now build your new kernel (make) and install it (make modules_install && make install). Make sure Grub is set up to boot from it next time (don't reboot yet.) Since above you changed your VIDEO_CARDS variable in make.conf, you can now do: emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y world and it will automatically install the correct X.Org driver (which should be "x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati" and will be installed automatically as a dependency). After you've done the above, make sure that you do *not* have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. If you have one, delete it (feel free to back it up first.) Also make sure you don't have files in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory that try to configure your graphics card. Now reboot and you should have working 3D acceleration with KMS and DRI2 and sound. If everything works OK, you can now do: emerge -a --depclean in order to uninstall any old, unneeded drivers and deps.
