FEATURES="-collision-protect keepwork" =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 -collision-protect installs the conflicting file even if a collision is reported. This is more a workaround than a real solution, as the next install of xorg-server will probably bring a collision again. Eventually, either the xorg or the ati-drivers ebuild will be changed. keepwork just avoids re-compiling the driver to save you some time. There is already bug report (http://bugs.gentoo.org/247685), with more information on how to solve this. Wonko
