Getting ATI 3d working! (I got mine going)

[list]

I finally figured out what I needed to do to get the ATI 3d working :)   
**maybe someone could add this to the wiki (at least the fglrxconfig  
part)**

I followed the current parts of the wiki  
(http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/BinaryDriverHowto).

Then I backed up my /etc/X11/XF86config-4:

dean at dim:~ $ sudo cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.old

Then I ran fglrxconfig (get it off synaptic) as su, and answered NO to the  
'disable AGP locked user pages' question.

I also hadn't understood what the linux-restricted modules >= 2.6.8.1.1-1  
were (to anyone else who doesn't know, you get them from the restricted  
sources with synaptic--they should match your kernel).

After this I was able to install and play enemy territory (which is a free  
multiplayer version of rtcw, I recommend you check it out)!

Good luck to everyone else :)

PS I'm using a Radeon 9500 pro, so anyone else using this card can be sure  
that it's possible.
