Comment 2 Zoltan 2009-12-03 05:08:00 UTC 
make.conf contains the necessary USE flags "X" and "xorg"
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fbdev glint vesa"
Comment 3 Matt Turner 2010-02-15 18:44:27 UTC 
Why are you loading radeon, fglrx, glint, fbdev, and vesa?

Remove everything but radeon and see if it still crashes.

fglrx doesn't even support your 8500 anymore.
