Restarting X should normally suffice.

Yes, this would be normal:

$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9600 Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4769 (X4.3.0-8.8.25)

I would suggest you first remove the newly created X-Conf and get out
the old -- the one created by the fglrxconfig program sometimes makes
trouble. In case of need just move all current configs aside and
recreate with system-config-display

Try if it works. Then enable the driver using 

/usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable

Restart X. Look if it works now. If not send me the output of :

/sbin/lsmod | grep fglrx
grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears

The last command should list (besides others)
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/libGL.so.1 (0x05880000)

If not send me privately /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ati-fglrx
and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
