OK, here is what I got. But I think I missed what exactly you want me to do with the second. I am a noobie, so be gentle. HAHA Thanks for the help!
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:37:32 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q kernel -qf '%{ARCH}\n'
error: file /root/kernel: No such file or directory
error: file /root/%{ARCH}\n: No such file or directory
But I think whatever it was fixed that, becouse on another issue I resolved with a yum -y. The drivers now installed as stated above with a yum install kmod-fglrx
Not sure if I have to do anything more or not, but the main thing I am trying to do is use Cedega but it still says I am using a Tungsten Graphics, Inc. Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 1x x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL with 128 mem (under its auto detect). But I am running an ATI X800 with 256. I am guessing that may be my onboard, never really looked.
OK, the modprobe fglrx had a fatal error, did the rest and the video is different. Not sure if better or worse, but seems sharper. Here is the print out.
[wc5b@localhost ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[wc5b@localhost ~]$
I am thinking I screwed something up playing with it myself before. Wondering if a reload would be better and start from scratch? Here is the read out of the requested stuff. Thanks again
Tom

I also have an ATI X800(XL) and it is running fine on my FC6 64bit installation.
I did the following stuff to get it working:
- Download latest drivers from ATI site (ati-driver-installer-8.31.5-x86.x86_64.run)
- Open a terminal window
- Make the driver-file executable with: 'chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.31.5-x86.x86_64.run'
- Go to directory (as root): '/lib/modules/<PUT YOUR KERNEL VERSION HERE>/build/include/linux'
- Make the following link (as root): ln -s autoconf.h config.h
- Go back to the ATI driver file dir.
- Run the ATI driver (as root) file with: ./ati-driver-installer-8.31.5-x86.x86_64.run
- Just stick to the default settings and click next, next etc.
- Go to runlevel 3 with 'init 3'
- Remove the radeon-driver from memory with: 'modprobe -r radeon'
- Load the fglrx-driver with: 'modprobe fglrx'
- Check if it's loaded with: 'lsmod | grep fglrx'
- Doublecheck with: 'dmesg'
- run: aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Add the following lines to the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file:
