I cannot get direct rendering to work on my ATI mobility 9700 card.
I'm using the ati-fglrx 8.26.18-1 and ati-fglrx-utils 8.26.18-3, as well as kernel 2.6.17-ARCH1.
Here's some debugging output:
$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
libGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable returned false
libGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable returned false

Are you loading "fglrx" as a module when you load?
Check in your "MODULES=" in /etc/rc.conf

From your output:
[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.27.10 [Jul 27 2006] on minor 0
You are not using ati-fglrx 8.26.18 - you have the newest version 8.27.10 installed. Did you try to use the graphical installer?
Anyway, quit out of X, rmmod fglrx, then pacman -S ati-fglrx to get the old version back.

Oops, yeah, I tried them, but then reinstalled the ones from the arch repo, but I didn't overwrite ATI's I guess..
Anyway, I ran ATI's uninstall script which took care of the problem, then once again reinstalled ati-fglrx, and voila, worked! I'm now enjoying great performance and OpenGL graphics
Thank you!!
