Ofcourse some of the ati using gentoo users came together on bugzilla (Bug 196820). Now I tried the way described in there however I got random atifacts. Today I installed the ati-drivers from the ati package and well they worded out of the box and everything went smooth. So I geus it is time to check what ati does what the ebuild doesn’t. Now my homework for this week is finished so I gues most of my saturday will be spend on playing with ebuilds and the ati-drivers and hope to get the thing working as it should.

Ah well. I’ll keep you posted :)

It are basicly a few easy steps:

  1. libstdc++.so.5:
    1. Google for libstdc++.so.5, you will find it. Well actually you find an rpm containing libstdc++.so.5.0.5
    2. Copy libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib
    3. Symlink /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5 to /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
  2. Portage Overlay:
    1. Copy x11-drivers/ati-drivers to you overlay
    2. Open the ebuild of choise ( ati-drivers-[version].ebuild )
    3. Remove the dependancy on virutial/libstdc++
    4. run: ebuild ati-drivers-[version].ebuild digest
    5. run: emerge =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-[version]

This should go well. at least it did here.
And enjoy your ati video card with ati-drivers without gcc-3. Now you can configure your card further.
