Ah ... I had dri complied into the kernel.  removing that I now see :-

    direct rendering: Yes

/dev/dri/card0 exists and ~ 445 fps in glxgears.

So I'm very happy :-)

To re-cap ( and remember I'm a amd64 gentoo user ), I have :-

    * agp enabled in the kernel, dri disabled
    * drm / openchrome from cvs / svn
    * Mesa 6.4.2-r2
    * xorg-server 1.0.2-r3


Thanks all,
