Ati 3D works only as root [Solved]

My problems seems to exist between the chair and monitor  :twisted:  :twisted:
After download xorg-server and xf86-video-ati, used "xorgcfg -textmode" for initial configuration. xorg.conf was written without problems and gnome work fine.
After that i download "ati-fglrx" with pacman, then used:
aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Gnome still work fine (GDM always work slow, 15 seconds to see anything).

But, when i run tuxracer only can play as root, because when start the game as normal user, 3D accel doesn't work properly...

Help please, and sorry for my English, i'm so ****ing noob!
