This is what finally worked for me.  I am on a 2.6.13 kernel and until I 
built *BOTH* agpgart and intel-agp into the kernel instead of as 
modules, I was unable to get dri working.

I emerged x11-drm with VIDEO_CARDS="radeon".  The radeon driver and drm 
get loaded automatically when I start X.

I think this is an issue with the 2.6.13 kernel not liking agp compiled 
as a module.

Cheers,
Kevin
