Live CDs are meant to tell you if your hardware is properly compatible, so if it does not load up properly in live session, avoid that version.
You missed out on one point here. He's facing that problem because gentoo live cd doesn't come preloaded with proprietory ATI driver needed by the onboard ATI card on that motherboard, though I believe it can be made to work with radeon driver with some workaround. On the other hand Sabayon does include the proprietory ATI driver, thus it just works out of the box.
