Be sure that you disabled the Direct Rendering Manager in the kernel and emerge x11-drm. Have a look at the Hardware 3D Acceleration Guide.

Sorry, I can't help. I unmerged xmms long time ago…

Try this.
From /etc/make.conf:
Code:

USE="dri opengl radeon"
VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev radeon v4l vesa vga"


Code:

# uname -a
Linux barnabas 2.6.17 #2 Mon Jul 3 01:09:01 EDT 2006 ppc 7447/7457, altivec supported GNU/Linux


Code:

# zgrep AGP /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_UNINORTH=y
# zgrep DRM /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m


Code:

# modprobe drm
# modprobe radeon


Check permissions:
Code:

# /bin/ls -l /usr/bin/Xorg
-rws--x--x 1 root root 1751812 2006-07-03 00:08 /usr/bin/Xorg


This performs stable dual-head, with glxgears at 2300 FPS on my Radeon 9600 Mobility (M10)

If you use see:
Code:

#grep FontPath /etc/X11/xorg.conf
       FontPath    "unix/:-1"

Then:
Code:

# emerge x11-apps/xfs
# etc-update
# /etc/init.d/xfs stop zap mkfontdirs start


Also, from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Code:

Section "Module"
        ...
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "freetype"
        ...
EndSection

Suspicious. This might fix it.
Code:

# mv /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/X11/xkb.old
# emerge x11-misc/xkeyboard-config x11-apps/xkbcomp

You take the kernel DRM? The howto sais not to use the kernel modul and to deacivate it.
Code:
# zgrep AGP /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_AGP=y
# CONFIG_AGP_UNINORTH is not set

# zgrep DRM /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM=y
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y
As far as I remember I had DRI working with monolith xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8. I will try to activate that AGP_UNINORTH.

Code:
# equery hasuse radeon
..shows no packages.

Code:
# grep FontPath /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        #FontPath        "unix/:-1"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/local/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/encodings/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/util/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/ukr/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/default/"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/artwiz/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/Speedo/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/CID/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/lfp-fix/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/lfp-var/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/sharefont/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/freefont/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/fonts/ttfs/"
        #FontPath       "/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/"
Is just "/usr/share/fonts" enough here?
What is "unix/:-1" for? So far I don't have x11-apps/xfs fontserver installed.

Best performance if you have kernel 2.6.17.x . (2.6.1[56] gives me terrible performance, the drivers are too old.) Otherwise, you really should checkout the drivers from CVS. See HOWTO: Radeon 9500 (and newer) with DRI for ideas.

I suppose that all packages have now moved this from USE to VIDEO_CARDS. This was not originally so.

If you don't use fontserver (Gentoo default is not to; many distributions do though), then no matter. The unix port is for a socket connection to the fontserver app. The primary advantage of the fontserver is having multiple X instances (including VNC, etc.) use a shared service for fonts.
