I don't have a kernel module called radeon. I guess that's the problem..
~# modprobe -l | grep 'agp\|drm\|rad'
/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/kernel/drivers/video/aty/radeonfb.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/x11-drm/drm.ko

~# eix -e udev

You are suggesting I move to version udev-084?

I'll write back when I have tried these suggestions.
