I'm a long time Linux fan but yet a n00b b/c I can never get 3D games to run with my graphics card. Just found out official drivers were released and am trying to get this bastage going.
I'm running Mandrake 9.0. Which I have no clue what kernel Im running or version of Xfree. Being a n00b I can't get most things to run. This is the most important thing, b/c it decides the fate of my Linix usage. =). Can someone lead me in the right direction? thx in advance

Linux is very user-friendly. . . its just damn picky who its friends with

uname -r (for the kernel version)
X -version (for the X version)
Do you need to install fglrx-glc22-4.2.0-2.5.1 as it would seem you already have libGL installed as part of XFree86-libs.
locate libGL (list files containing libGL
or
rpm -ql XFree86-libs (list the files in the XFree86-lib rpm package)

You should really read the readme file on ati's site. It talks about this very problem. I believe the solution is to install with the nodeps option.

got the same problem as you, and so far, my 2D is working.
for 3D i also figured out what went wrong, but haven't fixed it yet (couldn't rebuild kernel)
anyway: i used rpm -i filename.rpm
and when that has worked, there is this configure program which you have to run.
it asks for monitor, resolution, keyboard, mouse, etc.
if you can't get that to work you could try this after you used the config thingy
(i know how hard it is to start with linux without a graphical shell )
type mc (to open midnight commander) which you can use to navigate a bit graphical.
and go to /etc/x11
there you'll find a file named: XF86Config-4
and you could edit the last part of the file to this:
(anything with a # in front of it doesn't do ****.)
i'm not saying it's a good solution, but i think you should be able to start up x windows
