I recommend checking it out. I hacked up an ebuild just to make it install (none of the patches are used) and it appears DRI works. Well, I can't really test it completely yet as I'm accessing my laptop through the vnc module in xorg (not allowed to have laptop at work), but xorg did start. As far as the clock issue, I've resorted to using noapictimer in my kernel parameters, which appears to disable the apic timer and not all of apic. I've been monitorig the clock and it is keeping time with this parameter. New ati driver out today, 8.13.6-1. I recommend checking it out.

As far as I know, tho, the ACPI stuff works fine. I can use powernow to down my clock speed; Suspend works (although resume sometimes doesn't bring back my screen correctly; I blame the ati-drivers); The battery monitor in gnome works fine.

I've not tried disabling dri and drm yet so I'm using fbdev. Eh, it works. I don't plan on doing any gaming on this thing so 3d acceleration isn't a big deal anyway. I'm bookmarking your blog in case you make progress that I'm unable to. BTW, have you found a workaround to the fast clock issue when apic is enabled? I've read ACPI functions are pretty broken as well. I’ve been adventuring into gentoo on my new laptop as well (hp pavilion ze2000z with turion processor, similar specs to your notebook).
