	Okay, I have:

*  x11-base/x11-drm
      Latest version available: 20051223
      Latest version installed: 20051223

# lsmod

and nothing in /dev/dri, which may explain:

(II) fglrx(0): UMM area:     0xc08f7000 (size=0x076f9000)
(II) fglrx(0): driver needs X.org 6.8.x
(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 6.8.2
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed

drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)

[drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"

(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************

(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)             *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *


(this is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log)

and, finally:

[fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR* Unable to the open some already present DRM kernel module!

So, what am I doing wrong?

The drm module seems to be the problem child, once I added that, fglrx got 
tempermental...
