Annoying problem with ATI3870, Xlib: sequence lost (glxinfo)

[prime2009]

I'm using Xorg7.2 with Xserver1.3, on a intel DUO2,. Kernel is 2.6.27-r7 I believe.

My issues are related around getting the card working good in the gnome X desktop. Currently all appears installed fine and I have gotten help right up to this point which I will list below in pastebin.

I have tried all other drivers and 8.542 is the ONLY one that installs

http://pastebin.com/d29cd94d7 I get these TYPES of errors plus many others very similar from within gnome (root or user). I

Could someone step me through fixing this, I have eselect on ati and also aticonfig works in kernel (not gnome) but when I try to list cards inside gnome I get similar error to above.

This is my present xorg.conf (have tried many things here so don't think its this)

a xorg log output is here http://pastebin.com/d441c44a and emerge --info here http://pastebin.com/d40625f87

Needing help ASAP, also glxgears fails to load and produces same error.

Also here is the emerge log of the 8.542 drivers, as you can see they install, BUT there may be some issues with linking to the opengl stuff I dunno. http://pastebin.com/d768529aa

I find these types of errors odd and wonder if they are related to my problem because im having a fglrx issue you see ... "/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.542/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c:3528: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast"

So far I have found a SIMILAR problem, but think its with xf86

I have recently just disabled DRM, enabled ACPI and deprecated, and disabled AGP. According to above instructions, then I re-emerge libdrm xorg-server =ati-drivers-8.542 mesa.

Still glxinfo gives me :

what I will probably do tonight is rebuild to xorg7.4 (xserver1.5.2 atm)

From what I can tell people are having way more luck with the latest unstable then the older ones. Seems gentoo and ati are not user friendly (wish I knew this week ago)

[prime2009]

running latest X11-server-1.5.3 atm and still get this annoying error with glxinfo and other stuff like control panel.

maximus prime # glxinfo

This has gotta be something simple, just need to find someone who knows enough. modinfo fglrx gives the following.
