Hmmm... Mine has an entry for card0:
GentooPenguin# ls -l /dev/dri
crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 2010-04-08 17:42 card0
Are you sure your opengl libraries are being found in /usr/lib/opengl?
I used to run the ATI proprietary driver and switched to the open Radeon
driver and remember some fiddling was required in this directory,
possibly a symlink pointing in the wrong direction.
What does the command "eselect opengl list" show you?
Mine tells me that the xorg-x11 driver is being used.
