Fantastically.... I managed to copy pete's xorg.conf... I then some how managed to edit it CORRECTLY!!! (i am a noob remember)
Was very worried when X didnt start on reboot... then noticed I had an extra ENDSECTION in there oops!
Removed that .... rebooted.... AND!!!! It's still the same
So to recap on the issue....
Kernel.... ok
Ati drivers... installed
xorg enviroment.... updated
Fglrx... loaded
xorg.conf... present and correct
But X is STILL using the mesa project drivers!!!
This is a bit of a doozie!!!

the only thing you can do to stop X from using mesa drivers is
Code: | eselect opengl set ati |
then run
Code: | eselect opengl list |
and check which driver is selected
your xorg-server use flags should be like these for fglrx drivers
Code: | peterko@localhost $ emerge -pv xorg-server
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r2 USE="dri nptl sdl xorg -3dfx -debug -dmx -ipv6 -kdrive -minimal -xprint" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -evdev -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -synaptics -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -epson -fbdev -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nsc -nv -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vesa -vga -via -vmware -voodoo"

so recheck your flags you should have dri, xorg in USE flags and fglrx in VIDEO_CARDS |
