Last time I tried (circa 2.6.14-rc3-rtX) it didn't load correctly. Note that this was the ati-drivers package from portage and not an ATI driver package from ATI so possibly that was part of the problem.
I should probably try again one of these days but high speed graphics are not an issue for me on this machine. It's used for audio work mostly.
