I think the missing dri stuff is normal when suing the closed source drivers, as they have this built in. I think I had them, too, and I do not have a Files section. Has the fglrx kernel module been loaded at all, does lsmod | grep fglrx show it? If so, what are the dmesg messages when the module was loaded? I had these messages, whenI was using the ati-drivers: [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 3674 MBytes.
