Yuh. It didnt even work as the root user. To my knowledge nobody has
gotten the new fglrx drivers to work with the new xorg by reading
through the gentoo forums. Maybe your card is using the radeon drivers
that came with xorg since xorg does do HW accelleration for older
radeons.

I was ablt to get it to work by emerging the xorg 6.7 version ... that
works with the fglrx drivers although there are still problems and
mplayer runs out of resources and crashes or doesnt play movies
sometimes ... works fine with xfree.

I'll be waiting patiently for the xorg drivers by ATI unless I get an
nvidia for xmas! :-)
