When i want to start et i get:

yes, i downloaded and installed the newest ati-drivers which supports my raedon 9550. - i think it works in desktop - it enabled me higher resolutions...

any ideas other than: give up and boot windows to play your favourite game?

Are you absolutely sure your 3D drivers are working? What FPS do you get when you run glxgears? What is the output when you run the following:

glxinfo | grep rendering

[kanekane]

after glxgears:

442 frames in 5.0 seconds = 88.341 FPS
634 frames in 5.0 seconds = 126.723 FPS
638 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.552 FPS
638 frames in 5.0 seconds = 127.503 FPS

after glxinfo | grep rendering

direct rendering: No

but when i loaded xorg,conf (the one before installing that ati-drivers) it shows:

478 frames in 5.0 seconds = 95.199 FPS
1217 frames in 5.0 seconds = 243.305 FPS
1294 frames in 5.0 seconds = 258.719 FPS
1284 frames in 5.0 seconds = 256.771 FPS
456 frames in 5.0 seconds = 91.139 FPS
1291 frames in 5.0 seconds = 258.038 FPS

but it also says direct rendering : no

so what does it mean? (1 results are with xorg.conf made by fglrxconfig (after instaling drivers) and the 2 are with old, just after system installation, xorg.conf)

[techieMoe]

The direct rendering: no means that although you may have installed the 3D drivers from ATI, they aren't working.

how to make it running?

how to make it running?

That's a good question, and I don't have an answer. Stick around. I'm sure we have some other ATI users out there.
