I'll email my xorg.conf that works with my ati-1900 as a reference.

Um, I'm not sure it matters. Try ati-drivers first and it 
may want to pull in xorg first. In that case, the answer is
org. If not, it does not matter.


Remember, at some point, after you build a kernel, you have
to run modules-update, but surf the various gentoo web pages
on Ati to get that answer.

follow the main gentoo web page:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/gentoo-radeon-faq.html
<this last pages says that your 9550 card is supported by 
the ati-binary driver.


I'll try and help you thru this, but, realize I'm not whiz
at ati-driver obscurity issues.....

That said, keep a precise log of what you do, what fails and 
what works, and maybe between us, we can develop a simple
ascii text file that works and is current.....

I'll be back online in 3-4 hours to check your progress.

Hang in there,


James
