Then you do not have tmpfs mounted on /dev/shm, which the driver requires. To mount this, add to following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already): tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 Then just do a: mount /dev/shm If the drivers still crap out on you, or for example you get a black screen on X init, try going into your system BIOS and change graphics- related stuff around. Believe it or not, for me my 9800 gives a black screen on X init if I have the AGP Aperture set at anything other than 128MB. I don't know what causes this, and I don't care; I'm just relating to you how I overcame my problem ;) Also, when updating/recompiling your kernel, you may have to unmerge the ati-drivers and then emerge them again.
