I'm at a loss. Can some kind soul please point me in the right
direction toward the steps needed to get 3D acceleration on my laptop?
Should I be using x11 or ATI drivers? And if ATI drivers, any idea what
is might be conflicting in my kernel?
No conflict in your kernel - the "taint" message means that you have
loaded a closed-source driver into your kernel - nothing to worry
about (unless you are interested in running a completely free/libre
system).
Can you post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
Thank you for your posts.
OK, I tried starting over again as when I wrote the above post, I wasn't
trying to use the ati-driver. So I emerged ati-driver. However, when
attempting to load the fglrx I get an "Operation not permitted error" (I
remember this now). I am logged on as root. Please see this output:

Question: Is this a custom kernel build? If so, did you enable
Yes.
--- enable loadable module suppot
------ module versioning support
or
------ source checksum for all modules
I have these options:
[*] Enable loadable module support
[*] Module unloading
[*] Forced module unloading
[ ] Module versioning support (NEW)
[ ] Source checksum for all modules (NEW)
[*] Automatic kernel module loading
If so, turn them both off and rebuild the kernel and try to load the fglrx
module again...
What happens is, your closed source, binary, module does not have the correct
credentials for it to be installed... Thus the "operation not permitted"
complaint...
I just rebuilt the kernel again to be sure I really built it with those
options. There was no change. See this output:
