Well, this is actually a desktop.  I got it running via vesa on an FC6
+updates system, and have your ati-x11-drv package installed.  I believe
fglrx module is loading (yes it's in my config), but no dri and maybe
few others.  I am going to post my config file to see if anyone see's
something that needs to be added to my config to get it fully
functional? (glx gears shows no dri and runs slow)

The .old is what FC6 configures w/fglrx.  The xorg.conf one is my
current that I used to have for earlier FC versions, when I used to use
a Radeon 9000 when it was supported.  But still no dri on neither config
file.
