Alright, I've been trying to get the ATI drivers working on RC4 with no success. Here's what I've tried.
apt-get update
apt-get install gcc-4.1
update-scripts-kanotix.sh
make-kernel-links
install-fglrx-debian.sh
Also I've tried install-fglrx-debian.sh -r
I've also tried using the Control Center in KDE to do it, but with no success.
When I run fglrxinfo, I get this info:
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 6.4.2)
Also, here's the info from dmesg:

Any help on this is appreciated. |

I use a Radeon Mobility 9700 videocard in this lappy.
Oh, that site died while I was deployed and I never had a chance to change it. Thanks for pointing that out. |

| my card (ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]) doesn't work either ... I used to have hardware accel for this card but install-fglrx-debian.sh doesn't do it for my card now. |

| For some laptops with ati, 915res should installed too. the functionality from 915res is needed, while the ati is part of the intel-pci_expressChip. |

With the newer ATI drivers, all r200 based chipsets are not supported currently. ATI is trying to figure out what is wrong (in other words, roll back to older drivers or wait 3 months for it to be fixed in the new drivers) currently as it was unintentional.
Also, I check on synaptic and I found that 915resolution was already installed if that is what you are referring to. |

I did some tests with my r200 card after restoring a backup to a 2.6.14 install and I found out that the drivers seem to have problem with the 2.6.17 kernel, but not the ones before hand. 2.6.16 works, as does 2.6.15 and 2.6.14.
2.6.14 and 15 seemed to work with the old "install-radeon-debian.sh" script.
With 2.6.16, after running "install-fglrx-debian.sh", the script works, but I did get a frequency out of range error (or something like that) when kdm tried to start ... I noticed that an old /etc/X11/xorg.conf file had all of it's ModeLine's commented out, so I tried commenting out all the ModeLine's in the current xorg.conf, and then kdm would let me in just fine, and I had direct rendering just fine.
With 2.6.17 (both the 2.6.17-kanotix-1 and 2.6.17.3-slh-up-1 ones), when I run the "install-fglrx-debian.sh" script, it errors out.
The following errors are grepped from:
/media/hda1/var/cache/modass/fglrx-kernel-source.buildlog.2.6.17.3-slh-up-1.1152061097
errors are:
/usr/src/modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:228: error: expected ')' before string constant
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/modules/fglrx/firegl_public.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/fglrx] Error 2
make: *** [build] Error 2
I restored back to 2.6.16 and I'm happy with my 3d graphics drivers.
So it's only 2.6.17 that has a problem for me. |

errors are:
/usr/src/modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:228: error: expected ')' before string constant
within this line 228 in firelg_public.c there is etiher '(' missing or placed at the wrong position. |

Well, kelmo suggested that I install dri, as my 9200 card is supported in the kernel, so I upgraded to 2.6.17 and did (in init 3):
apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri
and now I have direct rendering and everything is good 
PS ...
but I did have to change Driver "fglrx" to Driver "radeon" in xorg.conf before I could start X |

| It seems you can not use kernel 2.6.17 with legacy R200 cards. |

| I think I found the problem. I use a resolution of 1280x800 as I have a widescreen laptop, this does backfire on me though as this resolution wasn't shown in the modelines for VESA so I had to add one in. |
