Angry ati card in slack


This is truly bittersweet for me, I got a 128 ATI 9 0 something hundred for free!!! I know It's going to be hard to make work, but It was worth it because my old card is a Geforce 4 mx420. (I love Nvidia and I woudl never buy an ATI card). I am in slackware 10.1 running the 2.4 kernel, I updated glibc and that fixed a few things, but there are problems. Fglrxconfig works and the x server works, but there is no splash screen when I start x. Also cube runs so slow!!! And there are no walls. hmm. Cube ran better before I installed the drivers! (once again let's give it up for ATI {yay}) I run glx info and get this:

glxgears runs and gets a high fps, but after calculating fps it freezes. I'm stuck and any help here would be nice, thanks,
