You need to remerge ati-drivers every time after you compile
a new kernel.

That got it  Thank you.

For the record I did the following:

1. Recompile kernel
2. Re emerge Xorg  (deep with new use flags):
emerge -DvatN xorg-x11
3. Remerge the ati drivers again
emerge -av x11-drivers/ati-drivers
emerge -av x11-apps/ati-drivers-extra

etc-update
source /etc/profile
eselect opengl set ati
modprobe fglrx
startx


Thank you.

regards
Garry

You might want to emerge module-rebuild to help with such
things in 
future. It tracks which ebuilds install kenrel modules that
need to be 
rebuilt, and rebuilds them all with one command. So you
still have to 
remember to run it after a kernel upgrade, but at least it
removes the 
resulting hassle if you forget about one of the packages
