Running Ubuntu 9.10 with kernel 2.6.30? I won't even ask how you got as far as you did. ;) But here is what I think the problem is:
Looks like the drm kernel module is loaded. See this message in BootDmesg.txt: "[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810". Therefore the fglrx kernel module fails to load later on with "[fglrx: firegl_ init_module] *ERROR* firegl_ stub_register failed". Without the fglrx module loaded, you won't get DRI.
You need to unload the drm kernel module before fglrx can be loaded.
