  The instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml are
what I followed (I run Gentoo).  ATI does things differently from
nVidia; that's all I can say.  Note that the blob is for newer ATI chips
(RadeonHD 2000 and up).  The nVidia instructions on that page don't
mention any binary blobs.
