What does this last line mean? What does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log say
about your driver? There will be two lines like this:

[104101.617] (II) LoadModule: "radeon"
[104101.617] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so

Except that yours might say "fglrx" instead of "radeon".

You can also check your "lsmod" output to see which module is loaded.
