My xorg.cong contains all these lines, except the "dri". The others are there, but not in the same order. Does that matter? I have not added "dri" yet, should I? Sax2 is detecting my 9800 Pro as R350 NH. I believe that is correct. The 3D box is grayed out, don't have access to it. I do have a spare 9200 laying around that I could throw in this machine if that would help, but from what you indicated the 9800 Pro should work well with the default drivers. With the default install I was only getting about 23fps in glxgears, way too slow for this card. That is why I was trying to install the ATI drivers. Since then I can't run either glxgears or fglrxgears. And other stuff is not right, like screensaver.
