General Procedure to get ATI/DRI card running?

[Bruce Labitt]

Believe me, I'm almost there.  I will give the AMD/ATI binary driver a 
try next.  I would really not want to rebuild my applications all over 
again. 

If that fails, well, THEN I'll give the card to someone and buy an 
nvidia.  It would be kind of fun to dabble in gentoo.  In my copious 
spare time. :)
