Add "x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~x86" (or ~amd64) to /etc/portage/package.keywords and you will be able to install 9.6.

It now appears to be asking for xorg-server-1.5.3-r7 (but i'm running it fine with xorg-server-1.5.3-r6, which is currently the "stable" package for ~amd64. Not sure why that wasnt picked up when i installed 9.6). FWIW i'm still on 2.6.28.

I was doing the dodgy with 9.5 and 9.6 (before the ebuild was out) and just running the ati installer. It worked.

Rgs,
