Been trying desperately to get my Ati allinwonder 8500 to work with linux. (in fact, I believe half of my LQ posts are about this card and different distros) No freakin Idea whats going on. I even went so far as to reformat my / partition and start at the very beginning
I did all the steps correctly, however after I run the ATI proprietary driver, my x-server is out of sync with my monitor.
So i have to go to my first terminal
and run
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
to put my monitors correct horizontal and Vertical sync
i now see the ATI CONTROL app on my applications menu, but the output of fglrxinfo is still

fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)

after aticonfig --initial
and aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
dmesg | grep fglrx shows
