I just finished my install, AMD64, Sata drive, and Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Advantage.
I ran the folllowing commands and got these errors

Emerge xorg-x11 'no errors
Env-update 'no errors
source /etc/profile 'no errors
Made my xorg.conf.new file
then i did
X -config /root/xorg/conf.new ' and i got this error ( or somewhere around here)

(WW) Radeon: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) Found
(EE) Radeon: Failed to parse Metamodes or no modes found. MergeFB Mode disabled.
'some other errors about mouse ... cannot open device dev/mouse
Fatal server Error
Failed to initialize Core devices
and then it gave me wiki-xorg.org and wouldnt load.

I also tried...
Video_cards="Radeon" Emerge x11-drm
And
Emerge ati-drivers

and both of these said something about masking (AMD64 Keyword) or something.

Any help as to what to do and how would be very helpful
Thanks in Advance

can't say anything about your video card :( but as for the mouse errors...

edit xorg.conf.new and go to the input device section and look for the mouse and change the location to
Code:
/dev/input/mouse0

or
Code:
/dev/input/mice
