I'm no expert, but I will try to give it a shot.

Looking at your lspci output, it says that your AGP controller is
branded Intel and not ATI. So you should make sure that the correct
module gets loaded. (If it's even possible to load wrong. ;)

I believe that you don't need this if you're using the fglrx, correct
me if I'm wrong. But, you could at least try to compile it as a module
instead (the RADEON part) and check the result when you don't use it. I
for one use DRI w/o it.
