Something probably went wrong, and you are using software rendering. 
fglrxinfo and glxinfo probably mentions "Mesa GLX indirect", no Direct
Rendering. This means slooow 3D ;-)

You should check out what the drivers print in /var/log/XFree86.0.log
and see where it fails. It will probably be a lot more helpful than
dmesg. Look for lines starting with (EE) or (WW) (Errors and Warnings)
