- problem partially solved...

- I found this driver...: ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run
- this one runs. I think it gives me 3D accel. Don't really know, 'cause after 
installing compiz, I don't have the "Compiz Fusion Icon" in my menu 
structure? The two others are there (CompizConfig and Emarald Theme).

And I can't find compiz-manager on the system...

SIgh...
