Make sure that you are not compiling DRM as part of the kernel. Use the
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" emerge xfree-drm after you've made and installed
your new kernel/modules.
The 2.4.22 vanilla sources compile DRM for xfree 4.2, so if you're
running 4.3 it will conflict. I did this to myself a few days ago.
My gentoo experience is very limited, but i hope that was helps a bit.
