No, it's a 9500 AGP (to my knowledge, 9500 PCI doesn't exist, which got 
me confused). PCI bus 1:00.0 is usually AGP.

I'm not quite sure what you actually want to do. Do you want to install 
the proprietary ati fglrx driver or the open-source drivers? If the 
latter is the case, you not only need the r300 dri driver instead of 
r200, but need to fix your xorg.conf file to use the "radeon" driver 
instead of "fglrx".
If the former, I don't know why you'd get the error messages in the log 
file. Maybe you've already loaded the radeon (or drm) kernel module, 
which you can't load together with the fglrx module. You could just try 
installing a newer ati fglrx driver, maybe that'll get rid of the error.
(In general, you can _install_ both open-source drivers and fglrx driver 
at the same time, though for switching between them by adjusting the 
xorg.conf file you need to a) make sure that each driver gets to use its 
own libGL.so, which usually means adjusting symlinks and b) make sure 
not the "wrong" radeon/drm/fglrx kernel modules gets preloaded with some 
scripts.)
