Am I using the "ati" or "vesa" driver?

If you don't overwrite libglamoregl.so from the xserver tree with that
from the glamor tree, yes.

Note that you also need to rebuild xf86-video-ati against glamor from the xserver tree.

 (II) Loading sub module "glamoregl"
 (II) LoadModule: "glamoregl"
 (WW) Warning, couldn't open module glamoregl
 (II) UnloadModule: "glamoregl"
 (II) Unloading glamoregl
 (EE) RADEON: Failed to load module "glamoregl" (module does not exist, 0)

Looks like libglamoregl.so isn't installed, at least not in /usr/lib/xorg/modules.
