Didn't I list the proper steps to get it to work once? If not, here is the rundown:
lspci
This gives you a list of your pci devices (though for some reason this isn't working on this last install ... I have no idea why, though it should work for you). Ensure that your card is listed.
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfir
->[M] AGPGART
->[ ] DRI/DRM (DO NOT SELECT THESE!!!)
then compile your kernel
emerge ati-drivers
modprobe fglrx
opengl-update ati
You should get that to work now. If you error out, you have problems. Once that's done:
/sbin/lilo (if using lilo ... otherwise write your grub crap to disk)
Reboot
modprobe agpgart
modprobe fglrx
fglrxconfig
mv /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config
nano -w /etc/X11/XF86Config
edit the BUS ID to match the one in lspci.
configure your drivers as you see fit, but for god's sake: USE THE EXTERNAL AGPGART !!! The internal one doesn't work for sh!t. ALSO: do not VSync, as that slows down your frame rates.
That's how I did it with the 9800 Pro, and that uses the same stuff as the 9700 Pro. Good luck. Also, if you haven't already, re-emerge the ati-drivers, since they are now using a new set that were updated in mid-September by ATi.
