ATI $ 3d troubles from 2months

I have a breezy dist updated to dapper.
I never managed to get 3d acceleration.

The fglrx module is compiled...

Yup,do what i did, after screwing around with the ATI for months i chucked
my X600 and bought a cheap nvidia 6200. ATI is just broke on linux. I dont
know what else to conclude.
