While not a radeon expert, there are drivers available at ati.com that allow opengl for gaming use. The default ones you get with the os usually only come setup for 2d mode and arent very good for 3d.

Download the drivers and some of the radeon users on this forum will give you a hand if you run into problems.

ok now i am thoroughly confused - i went to the ati site and was told to look at glx and dri sites. glx doesnt seem to hav radeon 7000 support, but dri does. problem is i dont really know what dri or anything is - is it installed instead of my default linux drivers or as well as? is it a replacement for openGL or how does that work? and how do i install the source code in such a way that it will work instead of my default drivers?

sorry i appear so green i am not a complete noob i just havnt had to deal with linux drivers and 3D games for linux in the past - thanks!
