Kernel: 2.6
GPU: Radeon HD 8400

I installed the proprietary driver from AMD's website and the installation went smoothly. I'm sshing int a server with X11 forwarding enabled and trying to get a GUI application output forwarded to me. When I login and run fglrxinfo it shows that I'm using the mesa drivers and if I run xclock, the application comes through fine. When I set DISPLAY=:0 fglrxinfo shows that I'm using AMD's driver but I get no GUI applications forwarded to me when I run xclock, xterm, or any other GUI applicaiton.

I've also tried doing a remote desktop and the same thing happens. Once I set DISPLAY=:0 I have no GUI output.

I need the system to be using AMD's driver rather than the Mesa drivers on the system.

Also I'm attaching my xorg.conf.
