It's the proprietary ATI driver. More info here:
http://www.ati.com/products/catalyst/linux.html
On my gentoo system, I did this to install:
# emerge ati-drivers ati-drivers-extra (installs drivers and control panel)
# env-update (just to be safe)
# source /etc/profile (just to be safe)
# nano -w /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 (make sure fglrx driver gets
loaded at boot)
add line "fglrx"
# modules-update (adds fglrx module to system)
# modprobe fglrx (load driver)
# eselect opengl set ati (switches to ati opengl)
# reboot (shouldn't need this but I do it to be safe)
# aticonfig --initial --tvf=NTSC-M --hsync=31.5 --resolution=640x480
--tvs=VIDEO --force-monitor=tv --overlay-type=Xv
--output=/etc/X11/xorg.conf (this creates initial xorg.conf using TV out
only, man aticonfig for your options)
# startx
# fgl-glxgears (Test to see if hardware accel is on)
# fireglcontrol (control panel)
Hope this helps.
