I am trying to install Gentoo on one of my laptops.
It appears that my graphics card is not being used and I have this probably 640x480 screen size with only the terminal.

Code:
# lspci | grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS780MC [Mobility Radeon HD 3100]


I am using the gentoo-sources-3.18.7
Code:
Device Drivers -->
..... Generic Driver Options -->
.......... [ * ] Prevent firmware from being built
..........  -*-  Userspace firmware loading support
.......... [ * ] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
..... Graphics support -->
.......... <*> /dev/agpart (AGP Support) -->
............... <*> AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support
............... <*> Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x85 chipset support
..... Direct Rendering Manager -->
.......... <*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
.......... <*> ATI Radeon
............... [   ] Enable userspace modesetting on radeon (DEPRECATED)
..... Frame buffer Devices -->
..........  -*-  Support for frame buffer devices -->


Code:
# cat /etc/portage/make.conf | grep VIDEO_CARDS
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon"


I also have the linux-firmware installed

Not sure what I'm missing :/

Maybe the radeon module isn't loaded. Please show

Code:
lspci -k

Code:
dmesg | grep radeon

You are possibly missing the firmware for the card. Installing either sys-kernel/linux-firmware or x11-drivers/radeon-ucode is only enough if radeon is built as module.

If it is compiled into your kernel, additionally set
Kernel .config:
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R600_rlc.bin radeon/RS780_uvd.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"
