ATI Proprietary driver fglrx problem with Radeon 9200SE



Hi, 

I've always use the fglrx-driver package for my ATI Radeon 9200SE card.
But it never occurs to me that the driver is not working properly.

According to "How do I know fglrx is installed correctly?"
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_do_I_know_fglrx_is_installed_correctly.3F


I failed 4 of the 4 tests, which means I'm not using the fglrx
driver at all, but everything seems to be working -- my console and X,
even my dual-head configuration.

I'm wondering what driver I'm using, How can I make the fglrx driver works
and how can I enable my DRI. 

Any helpful information would be appreciated.

thanks
