First of all did you follow the guide at http://www.gentoolinux.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml ? Or any other guide?

Assuming you used the guided above:

1) Could you post the output of:
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep 'MTRR\|AGP\|DRM'

2) What version of x11-drm are you using? Did you set VIDEO_CARDS="ati" in make.conf (or on the command line while emerge x11-drm)? BTW what version of xorg-x11?

3) What does the Module section of your xorg.conf look like?
