ATI configuration?

There is an ebuild Xorgautoconfig specifically for this
purpose.  The 
generated xorg.conf needs some slight adjustments but seems
to give good 
results.

I'm new at this, and I don't know about ebuild yet.  Can
you give me a hint
about what I should do to get the Xorgautoconfig built?

Thanks!

I just did an emerge on Xorgautoconfig and ran the command,
but the
xorg.conf file it makes doesn't work - it tells me that
ATI(0) Adapter has
not been initialized, and Screen(s) found, but none have a
usable
configuration.

It sets Mode 1024x768 at several depths, which I can live
with, and default
mode of 16, which I can also live with.  Now if I could just
get it to work
...

Thanks!
