I have had to downgrade to xorg 6.7.0 to get the ati-drivers to functions reliably, the ati-drivers that did work with 6.8.0 stopped working for some reason and the downgrades fixed the problem so I will stick with the downgraded versions till the ati-drivers are reliable with 6.8.0.

I can't get X to work any more.
    
Which version exactly?
$ X -version
will produce the details.

  
I have an ATI card and am running the 
latest drivers which require xorg 6.8.
    
Again which ATI card?

  
Everything is installed but when I try to run X it just crashes.
    
Why?
What does it say at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

The command as root
tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log
will tell you.

  
If I 
try and do an emerge -uD world it wants to re-emerge xorg 6.7 but that
won't work with the ATI drivers... do any Gentoo users have any
suggestions for me?
    
What happens if you say ( as root )
Xorg -configure
and perhaps
Xorg -probeonly
