Doc,
Thinking back in time to when I first got my radeon 7000 PCI working under RH9, one phrase that comes immediately to mind is "if you see Mesa anywhere in there, you don't have 3D acceleration" "There" being the output in the console while running glxgears. I tried using the "fglrx" driver on the advice of some dude with an 8500. Check this out:

Here are the relevant sections of my XF86Config:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
Load "extmod"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx" # 3D layer
Load "dri" # direct rendering
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "ATI Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "DPMS"
Option "ForcePCIMode" "1"
EndSection
Leave out the "ForcePCIMode" option if your card is AGP. Mind you, I'm using Mandrake 10, a 2.4.x kernel, and XFree86 4.3. Similar configs have worked for me under RH9, FC1, Suse, and MDK9.2. Hope this helps you out.
