As of today, the ATI-provided [ati-drivers] package does not work &#8211; the stable version doesn&#8217;t compile with the latest stable [gentoo-sources] kernel, and the soft-masked version doesn&#8217;t compile without soft-unmasking half of X.<br \/>\nWell, I opted to soft-unmask half of X, yuck.  Here&#8217;s what it took in [package.keywords]&#8230;<\/p>\n<pre><code>x11-drivers\/ati-drivers\r\nx11-apps\/ati-drivers-extra\r\n# and deps... sigh...\r\nx11-base\/xorg-server\r\nx11-libs\/pixman\r\nx11-libs\/libpciaccess\r\nx11-proto\/xproto\r\nx11-apps\/xauth\r\nx11-libs\/libXrender\r\nx11-proto\/renderproto\r\nx11-proto\/xextproto\r\nx11-libs\/libXau\r\nx11-libs\/libXext\r\nx11-libs\/libXfont\r\nx11-proto\/inputproto\r\nx11-libs\/xtrans\r\nx11-misc\/xkeyboard-config\r\nmedia-libs\/mesa\r\nx11-libs\/libdrm\r\nx11-libs\/libX11\r\nx11-proto\/xf86driproto\r\nx11-libs\/libXxf86vm\r\nx11-apps\/rgb\r\nx11-apps\/xinit\r\nx11-proto\/randrproto\r\nx11-drivers\/xf86-input-keyboard\r\nx11-drivers\/xf86-input-mouse\r\nx11-drivers\/xf86-input-evdev<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>When I got done, I lost my 1080p resolution and my mouse and keyboard (!).  Digging in, I found that the newer xorg-server autodetects things, and when autodetect is on, it turns off any mouse and keyboard that are specified in xorg.conf.  Well&#8230; I hadn&#8217;t realized up until this point that I wasn&#8217;t running HAL (I had it installed but had not yet added it to a run level).  Therefore, X would disable my mouse and keyboard specified in xorg.conf, because it expected them to be autodetected.  But without hal running, it doesn&#8217;t happen.  You also have to have the [xf86-input-evdev] package installed and add the [input_devices_evdev] USE flag to [xorg-server] &#8211; evdev is what can actually successfully autodetect.  Moral of the story: run hal with the latest xorg-server!  And run dbus and add users to plugdev group to get hot-plugging.<br \/>\nNext I needed to figure out why I was dropping back to 1600&#215;1200 from 1080p.
