I've got a feeling that I'm missing something here - as whenever I  
run something that uses GL, it's very very slow - so I'm guessing  
it's still doing software GL... Can someone tell me if I've missed  
something in the below?

1) build and install the kmod fglrx.ko
2) build and install the Xorg driver - fglrx_drv.so
3) Change the line in xorg.conf from "Driver radeon" to "Driver  
fglrx" (ignore the misguided quotes :)
4) Restart X.

Now, if I run fgl_glxgears -info, I get:
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
GL_RENDERER = Mesa GLX Indirect
GL_VERSION = 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)
GL_EXTENSIONS = *snipped the million lines :P*
X Error of failed request: GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest
   Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX)
   Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (X_GLXVendorPrivate)
   Serial number of failed request: 29
   Current serial number in output stream: 31

This makes me feel that it's falling back to Mesa instead of GL being  
handled by the ATI driver. Does this sound correct? Am I  
misunderstanding something? Ideas?
