Hello,
I recently upgraded ati-drivers to 9.9-r2 also to
xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2
bzflag fails to run from the kde menu.
trying to launch it from the command line yields:
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request
code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 129 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 13

I don't know why this is happening, but here some things that might be
worth checking:
Check if your graphics card is actually fully supported by
ati-drivers-9.9; only HD2000/HD3000/HD4000 series cards are supported.
Make sure ATI's OpenGL library is used instead of X.Org's:
eselect opengl set ati
Also make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains this:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Finally, make sure to rebuild all X drivers since you updated
xorg-server. This should be a rather quick compilation; the drivers are
small:
emerge -a1 `qlist -IC x11-drivers/`
You need app-portage/portage-utils installed for "qlist" though.
Restart X.
For what it's worth, I just installed bzflag here. I'm on AMD64, a
Radeon HD4870, ati-drivers-9.10 (renamed ebuild of ati-drivers-8.660,
which is a beta release of 9.10 released by Ubuntu, therefore the weird
version and mask in portage), gentoo-sources-2.6.31.
