ATI Radeon 9600 rendering with Mesa

[Robert Larsen <rcl at ttpcom dot com>]

Hi all

For a months time now I have fought to get my gfx card to work without 
any luck.
I tried following the instructions on ATI's web site and got a better 
resolution but "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" telss me that Mesa is rendering 
OpenGL.
I then tried the instructions from 
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html 
but with the same result and it is driving me crazy. I am using Debian 
Sarge.

Some info:
robert at codemachine:~$ dpkg -l|grep fglrx

I used fglrxconfig to configure X but as it didn't work I tried changing 
different settings. Right now the relevant parts of XF86Config-4 looks 
like this:
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load        "dbe"   # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection  "extmod"
  Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
Load        "type1"

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong ?
