Default ATI 3d is enabled but sax2 says no 3d

Hello!
I have worked very hard to get my ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series to work in 3d. 3 ubuntu distros and one Suse distro later, it seems that everything is running perfectly

fgl_glxgears gives me 3d gears in a cube spinning around, yay.
Code:
david@linux-97wm:~> fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
1670 frames in 5.0 seconds = 334.000 FPS
However, I open desktop effects and it tells me that 3d acceleration is disabled. When I open sax2 I am unable to check enable 3d (box is grayed out and checked).

A little backgound info of my install.
I followed the install method listed here
Hardware - Installing ATI Drivers - openSUSE Forums
with a minor change to the code aticonfig -initial -f (the first time I ran it I received an error message "could not find configuration file Please copy configuration file template to /etc/X11)
I used aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.

So how can I get Sax2 to recognize that my ati card is running 3d and as a result enable desktop effects?
