Created attachment 105083 [details, diff]
fixed problem on firegl_public.c

And this is solution. Please add to portage. thanks. 
P.S. So is possible use proprietary driver for radeon 9200/9250 (because new release doesn't support its)

There is a patch for firegl_public.c file for UTS_RELEASE and VH_SHM variables undefined.

then on ati-drivers-8.28.8.ebuild add this line on src_unpack function:

src_unpack() {
	local OLDBIN="/usr/X11R6/bin"

	ebegin "Unpacking Ati drivers"
	sh ${DISTDIR}/${A} --extract ${WORKDIR} &> /dev/null
	eend $? || die "unpack failed"

	rm -rf ${ARCH_DIR}/usr/X11R6/bin/{fgl_glxgears,fireglcontrolpanel}

	if use acpi
	then
		sed -i \
		-e "s/\/var\/lib\/xdm\/authdir/\/etc\/X11\/xdm\/authdir/" \
		-e "s/\/var\/lib\/gdm/\/var\/gdm/" \
		-e "s/#ffff#/#ffff##:.*MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE/" \
		"${WORKDIR}/common/etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh" \
			|| die "sed failed."

		cd ${WORKDIR}
		epatch ${FILESDIR}/ati-powermode.sh.patch
	fi
+	epatch ${FILESDIR}/firegl_public_patch_2.6.18
}

thanks. I hope that this patch works as for me. Bye
