ati-drivers on gentoo linux

So with much hard work I have successfully installed the great gentoo linux on my laptop (thanks to the LFS; it was a very useful experience). Unfortunately I have an amd turion based system and many packages in the gentoo portage still are masked with ~amd64 keyword. But, still I could install the complete gentoo without much trouble except with the display hardware which is the ATI Radeon XPRESS 200.

As usual, I did an emerge on the ati-drivers package which gave me pretty much all the normal output except the following:

————————— ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY —————————
LOG FILE = “/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-x11-drivers_-_ati-drivers-8.32.5-11100.log”

open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5/-.gcda
open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5/-.gcda
——————————————————————————–

With a lot of googling, I found that problem is with the sandbox USE flag and the solution seem to be adding the following lines to the /etc/portage/package.use :

x11-drivers/ati-drivers -sandbox -usersandbox

I hope this information would be useful to someone else too..

bye..
