Can't load enemy territory...

Hi,

Running freespire (debian based---<--- i think).
I have a 9700pro AIW, installed latest drivers from ATI, all went well. Have installed ET(AS ROOT ??) now when i go to run ET, well there is a script file called et which i run(i am guessing here but it looks right) anyway i get a bit of stuff in the console but this is where is error is,

 You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!
 Driver DLL used: libGL.so.1
 If this is intentional, add
       "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1"
 to the command line when starting the game.

any ideas?

I had ET working fine before when i had a 5200fx installed( i have since reinstalled linux though) BUt i haven't fiddled with anything in linux though.

What i think,

1) should i have installed ET as root, does this matter ?
2) It must be to do with the graphic card driver...

TIA for any help...

I just read on another forum that i shouldn't install as root, so will install ETt again as main user, although i have no idea how to uninstall the first ET, though i guess it can just sit there, will install ET (2) to a new directory ??

So it looks like the default software emulated MESA drivers are set to run the game. How do i have the ATI drivers set to run it as the ATI drivers seemed to install fine when i installed them. Is there something else i need to do here..?

TIA

EDIT:

In my xorg.conf this is all there is for the graphics card, which doesn't look right after looking at other conf's on the net,

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device1"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device2"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
BusID "PCI:1:0:1"
EndSection

tried a fglrxinfo and it look like all is set to mesa, any idea how to fix this,
