It an EAH4350 Silent. It worked fined with the '8' series
of drivers.
eselect opengl set ati
Also make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains this:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Always have these...
emerge -a1 `qlist -IC x11-drivers/`
Yep did that too, but, I'll do this one more time, just to
make sure nothing was missed....
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.
Most like the card is not supported. Where is the list of supported cards
for the 9 series of ati-drivers. Mine is a EAH 4350 SILENT from
asus.
The 4350 is fully supported:

Can you try with some Live CD that loads the ati-drivers during live
boot? I think Sabayon does this. If bzflag works there, then there's
something wrong in the Gentoo installation.
