I don't like to give consultation on non free software, but I'll try to help
Thanks.
What are other options if I want to get the most out of my hardware? I did a lot of googling over the last month since I bought this hardware and am still confused. If I get it right then there is some effort to write an open driver for ATI but it's not complete, and that the 2.6 kernel is supposed to include better built-in support for DRI, am I right?
anyway - is the fglrx kernel module loaded? what does "dmesg" say when you try to load it if you do?
Dmesg:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 430 MBytes.
[fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR* Fire GL kernel module has to be loaded prior to any other DRM kernel module!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to reboot to single user (real reboot, not "down from
multiuser") and force load of this module from there, but still get the
same message.
The "modprobe -v fglrx" says:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-dri/misc/fglrx.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.22-dri/misc/fglrx.o
Symbol version prefix ''
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.22-dri/misc/fglrx.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
