Getting the driver to work from scratch is always a challenge for me. I
seem to remember the driver does not work without installing the ATI
XORG or fglrx rpm component. There is a config to run too.
I have succeeded every time by going back to the readme.

Is there more drivers to add? Is the fglrx being updated? Is Xorg
creating a non-proprietary driver to replace fglrx that will have all
the necessary components? Should I fuss and fume to fix something or
just wait until it is a complete package? Will a complete package
include AIGLX capability?
etc? etc?
If anybody knows or at least has an opinion, would they please give me a
short response so I don't have extend what has become for me a major
project, ie installing a ATI Radeon 9600 video card and all its drivers.
I don't know about a short response to any video questions :-). If you got the
drivers via livna rpms (or built fedora rpms from the ati source), the odds
are good that the install didn't do everything it should have to really
get them installed correctly.
See http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269 for all the things
I had to do manually that the provided script somehow failed to do
automatically. Or for the whole story of my fight with ATI drivers
(which I finally won) see: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/easy-linux.html
Don't know if your card is supported by the open source radeon driver, but
if it is, that might be the way to go, I'm using the open source drivers
now after experimenting with both, and they work fine for me (after my
struggle :-).
