I don't recall trying to install firegl drivers; the XF86Config file I posted at the start has been superceded. The file itself was either deleted or modified and saved as XF86Config-4. I removed (rpm -e) the Mesa drivers; what's there now was installed by the ATI rpm itself.
Considering the number of things I needed to do to get things working, I'd reluctant to recompile the kernel. Perhaps I'll try it anyway, both the current stock version with the modules and a 2.6.1 version. But it took me so long to get sound on this machine (whine)...

There is a script that makes the module to the source without comiling the whole kernel. I cannot remember it at this time as the computer is at home and I am at work.
The issue I have with ATI is that they provide drivers on their page and as a user I would assume that they are "full feature" drivers. If they aren't I wish ATI would put in large red flashing letters that they are crap drivers and do not purchase the card.
I purchased a 9600 pro based on ATI having the drivers. I would have gone to another manufacturer if I had known that their drivers only enable part of the card.
I didn't remove the mesa drivers before installing but I wonder if that is were the I am having a problem.
