Ehh...everytime I run emerge -uDp world, I get ati-drivers.

It upgrades and then downgrades. It just keeps going in that circle!
(8.19.10 -> 8.14.13-r5)

Which version am I supposed to have? and does anyone else have this problem?

I think this is cause ~arch and arch difference.

cat /etc/portage/package.keywords | grep ati-
x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~amd64

put x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~amd64 in /etc/portage/package.keywords, which should fix this problem.

it's because...
you've probally got ati-drivers-extra installed
which is for some reason many versions less then the current ati-drivers.
So what happens? :
emerge -p ati-drivers-extra

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild UD] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.14.13-r5 [8.19.10]
[ebuild N ] x11-apps/ati-drivers-extra-8.14.13

this is your problem,
so solution unmerge ati-drivers-extra ( it's probably nopt neccessary anyway )

bye
:)
