That's it! :D

~$ glxinfo | grep dir
direct rendering: Yes

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# emerge -vp x11-drm

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-base/x11-drm-20051223  VIDEO_CARDS="ati -i810 -mga -nv 
-savage -sis -tdfx -via" 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB

I did try with both VIDEO_CARDS="ati" and VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" in make.conf 
but neither gave the radeon kernel module (without any of them it wouldn't 
compile though). But adding video_cards_ati to USE flags solved the problem.

~# grep drm /etc/portage/package.use
x11-base/x11-drm video_cards_ati

Do you think this is a bug in the ebuild?
