As you can see, fglrx is found, loaded and does not even make a warning, but it is not used 
I'm sure there is only a small thing left to don but i can't figure what.

Have you set ati as your opengl interface?
| Code: | | # eselect opengl set ati |
Also, make sure that you give permissions for every user apart from root:
| Code: | Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection |
Finally, have you run aticonfig?
| Code: | | # aticonfig --initial |
Cheers.

Thanks, eselect finished the job  And it seems that 'aticonfig --initial' had nothing left to do.
But will i have to do eselect at every reboot , or is there a config file where i can tell Gentoo to first switch to ATI opengl instead of first choosing MESA and then switching to ATI? |

When you select your opengl interface, setting ati or xorg, it should be set till you change it again. Unless you emerge something that changes it itself.
Does your opengl interface change on every logout/reboot?
Cheers.

| Yeah, it resets to MESA at each restart. I think somewhere in a config file is written a line to tell to use MESA, and i'd like to put ATI instead. |

Try this:
| Code: | # eselect opengl set ati
# env-update
# source /etc/profile |

| This didn't solved the problem, but i found a solution. I found out that at every restart, my libGL.so.1 is changed and links the mesa file. To solve it, i removed the MESA libGL.so. Let's hope i won't need it another day |
