I imagine I will use 7.0. Is putting:
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon"
in make.conf enough to get the drivers I need? Sorry for the
stupid questions,

used an ATI card
with Linux...

After going through the package database pretty much all the
software I
absolutely require is stable for PPC64, so I guess I'm all
good.
