I've got a ATI Radeon 200, and I'd like to get the fglrx drivers for xorg working. But when I try to emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers, I get an error:
Code:
make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.30.3-r1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.o] Error 1

I've got no idea what to do, and I'd be grateful for any push in a positive direction, as I've been stuck here for some time now.

you've not got your kernel headers available. to be honest i can't really remember how gentoo deals with them any more. is there a kernel-headers ebuild?
sys-kernel/linux-headers I think...
I'm emerging that and re-emerging glibc, as per linux-header's emerge instructions, then I'll try the emerge of ati-drivers again. With any luck it'll work.
