    Removed the XF86-Config* files from /etc/X11 and ran
    system-config-display. The hardware settings are correct; Samsung
    SyncMaster 15GLi and ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. Chose to save the settings
    anyway and ran

            /usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable

    Restarted X, but there's no difference. Here is the requested output:

    $ /sbin/lsmod | grep fglrx
    fglrx 225024 0

    $ grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf
            Driver "fglrx"

    $ ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears
            libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/libGL.so.1 (0x00242000)
            libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00d84000)
            libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00cbb000)
            libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00de9000)
            libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00c90000)
            libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00b64000)
            libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00cb5000)
            /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00b4b000)

    Thanks again for your help.
