Removed the XF86-Config* files from /etc/X11 and ran 
system-config-display. The hardware settings are correct; Samsung
SyncMaster 15GLi and ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. Chose to save the settings
anyway and ran

/usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable

Restarted X, but there's no difference. Here is the requested output:

$ /sbin/lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx                 225024  0

$ grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        Driver      "fglrx"

$ ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/libGL.so.1 (0x00242000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00d84000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00cbb000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00de9000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00c90000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00b64000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00cb5000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00b4b000)

Thanks again for your help.
