POST-INSTALL
Use opt/gl-select from ports to select the correct gl/glx
libraries and extensions like so:
# gl-select ati
Also to configure your X server you can execute ati configurator like this:
# aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
POST-REMOVE
Use opt/gl-select from ports to revert to the xorg gl/glx libraries
and extensions like so:

When UPGRADING/DOWNGRADING the ati-driver port (where the version changes),
use gl-select to revert to xorg and then re-select ati in order to
refresh the libGLcore and libGL symlinks, like so:
# prt-get update ati
# gl-select xorg; gl-select ati
