    Method 2 produces the same results as the other ways.

    Wow, your /etc/X11/xorg.conf is quite a mess.

    You might want to run
    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    and choose "fglrx" for the driver. Then restart X.

    It seems the driver doesn't install right, the vendor should be something like "ATI" if I remember correctly.

    What is the output of
    Code:
    glxinfo | grep -i direct

    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    with the fglrx driver just brought up a black screen where the login should have been.

    glxinfo | grep -i direct
    Code:
    Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
direct rendering: No
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
    Sorry to be such a hassle.

    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    should work if you answer all questions correctly.

    Try the "radeon" driver perhaps and see if it performs well for you.

    There doesn't appear to be a "radeon" driver in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

    Well, there should be.
    Code:
    locate radeon
    will tell you.

    Or else pick the "ati" driver, in the mean time.

    But
    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    does not have a radeon option.

    ATI driver doesn't work either. Only the vesa driver has gotten me any useful results (without 3d rendering of course)

    Maybe
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    won't allow you to choose it, but you do have the "radeon" driver.

    You can specify the driver manualy in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

    OK, the radeon driver works just like the vesa driver (both without direct rendering).

    You can try to add those lines to your "Device" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
    Code:
    Option          "RenderAccel"    "true"
Option          "DRI"                "true"
