hmmm - it sounds like an old version.

ati-drivers (thats how fglrx drivers are called in gentoo) are available as version 9.9, but they are keyworded.

run
Code:
 # emerge -pv ati-drivers

to find out what drivers are being installed.

If it is not 9.9 (or 9.9-rX) that is being installed, you need to keyword that package - maybe some others too.
Read about keywording

cheers
