Question Radeon X800Pro on Mandriva 2007 PP, A problem with ATI drivers...

O.K., I know that this or similar issue's have been discussed all over the net, but after reading so many posts on so many forums, that I simply couldn't event count, I still haven't found the right answer that solves my problem. No one could help me, although I post description of following issue on few different polish forums Now it's time for an English one

First of all I have Mandriva 2007 Power Pack installed on my computer, which most critical components are:
1. mainboard - ASUS A7V600-X
2. processor - AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (32bit)
3. graphics card - Sapphire Radeon X800Pro 256 MB GDDR3 AGP 8x

And now to the point. I cannot make 3D acceleration to work. When I'm trying to install the latest ATI drivers (using ".run" package), which are 8.32.5 for the moment, I got a strange error:

Code:
Creating directory fglrx-install 
Verifying archive integrity... All good. 
Uncompressing ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.32.5....................................................................................

Detected configuration: 
Architecture: i686 (32-bit) 
X Server: Unknown X Window 
cp: cannot execute stat on `x710/usr/X11R6/bin/*': There isn't any such file or catalog 
find: install/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel: There isn't any such file or catalog
Regardless of the installation program continues but displays http://img335.imageshack.us/img335/6...ekranu2rb2.jpg

I know from ATI's website, that this version of drivers requires X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, and to my knowledge Mandriva 2007 PP has 7.1.

Code:
[root@localhost ATI]# Xorg -version

X Window System Version 7.1.1

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1

        Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
        to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present
Any suggestions how to resolve my problem? Thx in advance

And, of course, here are my:

P.S. Sorry if my English is difficult to stomach, but I donā€™t have much contact with spoken English where I live, unfortunately :sad:

I totally forgot to mention, that all the results posted above came from my Mandriva after I've finally managed to install ATI ver. 8.32.5 drivers, by generating Mandriva 2007 specific packages. Those packages were
1. ati-8.32.5-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm
2. atieventsd-8.32.5-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm
3. dkms-ati-8.32.5-1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm
And below is how I've generate those packages.

Code:
[root@localhost ATI]# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run  --listpkg
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

For example, to build a Debian Etch package, run the following:
% ./ati-driver-installer-<version>-<architecture>.run --buildpkg Debian/etch

Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
[root@localhost ATI]# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run  --buildpkg Mandriva/2007
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Code:
[root@localhost ATI]# glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No
