I don't know why this is happening, but here some things that might be 
worth checking:

Check if your graphics card is actually fully supported by 
ati-drivers-9.9; only HD2000/HD3000/HD4000 series cards are supported.

Make sure ATI's OpenGL library is used instead of X.Org's:

   eselect opengl set ati

Also make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains this:

   Section "DRI"
         Mode         0666
   EndSection

Finally, make sure to rebuild all X drivers since you updated 
xorg-server.  This should be a rather quick compilation; the drivers are 
small:

   emerge -a1 `qlist -IC x11-drivers/`

You need app-portage/portage-utils installed for "qlist" though.

Restart X.

For what it's worth, I just installed bzflag here. I'm on AMD64, a 
Radeon HD4870, ati-drivers-9.10 (renamed ebuild of ati-drivers-8.660, 
which is a beta release of 9.10 released by Ubuntu, therefore the weird 
version and mask in portage), gentoo-sources-2.6.31.
