remove x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.0.0.it is not good to have them both(ati-drivers and xf86-video-ati).if you startx and it is black.hold ctrl+alt and hit f11 then alt+f1.this will take you to a login.is this correct?
regards hedmo |
Removed that, and startx gives black at boot. Your key combination does nothing. |

This should kiil X after 15 seconds and maybe leave an xorg log and .xsession-errors file - maybe 
startx 2>&1 | tee start.log&; sleep 15 && killall X

the only fast thing i can come up with is to "emerge lxpanel",remove your lines in xinitrc if you have some and set a new line "exec lxpanel".try to startx. |

Syntax error near token ;
Deleted ; but nope, it didn't kill.
Really, I can't script at all in any language, so I can't see the problem.

No, it doesn't start, and neither does dwm or twm. |

According to https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7113858.html#7113858
You need to make sure that your kernel configurations does not have any DRI or KMS Graphics drivers options selected and the kernel is recompiled
I noticed you have CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y
Maybe

I changed those to =n and recompiled, placed in /boot as correct name, but no. Still black screen on startx. |

oniichan,
Have you considered an attempt to get the radeon configuration going 
I think I've exhausted all options with the blob  It's been quite some time since I ran the closed source driver and I can't recall with any degree of accuracy how it was setup.
Maybe just getting the graphics going with radeon, then saving the config and tweaking it for the blob would help

You dont need any thing but agpart in the kernel.pleace add the watermark,this is a way for me to know that you
have a working fglrx driver.post your xorg.conf file,lspci and if you have a xorg log file yet.
