Are you using the x11-misc/afbinit program to load the afb microcode file for your Elite 3D? If not, try emerging the package and following the instructions it prints out at the end.

Thx, i now have a u60 w/ elite 3d running into same problem.

One question, will I always need to run:

Code:
# afbinit /dev/fb0 /usr/lib/afb.ucode


Or is once enough? Should this be in some type of startup script? Will kernel changes mess it up?

I am logged into Gnome now, just wondering about future kernels or reboots.

you shouldn't run into any problems when you recompile the kernel. however you will need to run the afbinit command on each reboot or add it to a startup script. i added it to the gdm startup script and it works great.
