fglrx issues

Hope someone can help me out with this one... It's really driving me nuts.

I'm using a Dell GX260 (i845 board) w/ATI 8500 LE Radeon (128mb.) I'm running FC4, totally up2date. I've installed the ati drivers from Livna (
kernel-module-fglrx-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4-8.20.8.1-0.lvn.2.4 / ati-fglrx-8.20.8.1-0.lvn.2.4) I have also recreated my xorg.conf using fglrxconfig.

The driver definatly installed correctly. Running fglrxinfo yields:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 8500 DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.1030 (X4.3.0-8.20.8)

I'm also getting ~410 FPS running fgl_glxgears.

I can run UT2004 flawlessly, I'd actually swear it runs better than my better equipped Windows box. However, I'm constantly having problems with other games. I've installed Call of Duty (the first one.) When I run it (using wine) the resolution changes and it tries to display things but everything just ends up garbled on the screen.

I've tried running Enemy Territory (natively,) I get background music and just a black screen. Doom 3 demo yielded similar results; It gives me an anmated image of mars with sound, but never actually draws a menu.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong, or what I should check first?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
