I had Xorg installed, and accedently installed Xfree86 as well. I unmerged both and re-emerged Xorg, but now DRI dosn't seem to work and I'm getting ~200FPS with GLXGears (was 1400+). My kernel (2.6.5-Gentoo-r1) hasn't been touched, and the xorg.conf file I am using is the same one as before. Any ideas?
GlxInfo shows no dri.
Also, I've tried unmerging/reemerging ati-drivers, to no luck...
at one point I was getting a arror RADEON(0): Unable to open write-combining range (0xd8000000,0x2000000).
I have a Ati Mobility Radeon 9200... This seems strange because it worked fine with no effort a couple of hours ago :-/

have you tried opengl-update?
Code:
usage: opengl-update <GL implementation>

note: 
       This utility switches between OpenGL implementations.  Currently there
       are five supported implementations, "xorg-x11" "xfree" "nvidia" "ati"
       and "mtx", the implementations for X.org, XFree86, nVidia, ATi
       and Matrox drivers respectively.

examples:
       opengl-update xorg-x11
       This will setup things to use libGL.so from X.org.

       opengl-update nvidia
       This will setup things to use libGL.so from the nVidia drivers.

this is usually the first thing to look at w/ regard to glxgears fps.

Also you might investigate whether you're using the drm internal to the ati-drivers.

From the ati-faq:

Quote:
Important: Your kernel must have agpgart support and not have the DRM modules compiled in.

opengl update didn't work, but it did tell me what the problem was...aparently the dir which is suposed to be xorg-x11 was non existant, copying the libraries over fixed the problem.
