Okay. The default driver in Fedora is free, open-source one. It may have bad performance for 3D graphics.
I'm suggesting you to check how 3D is working for you now in other programs. Check extremetuxracer, for instance.
To install proprietary ATI you will need to setup additional repository that carries stuff that cannot be supplied with main Fedora called RPM Fusion. After that driver will be available in package manager as xorg-x11-drv-fglrx.
But beware that situation with this driver is far-far from perfect. Also it won't support your card in next versions that will be in Fedora-11. So, may be, better to stick with open-source driver for now.
I'll try to investigate what was causing the original crash with it.

It means that SELinux prevents execution for some reason :)
You may temporarily disable SELinux by putting it in permissive mode with GUI config tool in System-
There most probably will be another problem, but I'll handle you with it to Erik :)

Not at all. You're very appreciated for bug report.
