ATI/fglrx 3D acceleration troubles...

Hi, I'm having trouble getting 3D acceleration to work with the Binary
ATi drivers. I'm using a Radeon 128mb 9700 (non pro), which ubuntu
detects as a 9500 (same chip, so no problems there) on an nForce 2
motherboard. nVidia's AGPGART module seems to be automatically loaded
just fine, and so is fglrx now. Everything but 3D acceleration is
working. I followed the howto at
http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/BinaryDriverHowto , so i'm not sure where
I'm going wrong. Here is the output from fglrxinfo:

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4

Clearly not correct. I think for some reason libGl is not working right,
and X is using mesa instead of ati's GL. I'm really not sure where to go
from here, so I will paste some relevant settings from my XFree86-4
file:

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
