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.
