Hmm, the output of the test script looks fine -- JOGL is finding your ATI card with no problem:

GL Profile    GLProfile[GL2/GL2]
CTX VERSION   2.1 (compatibility profile, any, old) - 2.1.7412 Release
GL            jogamp.opengl.gl4.GL4bcImpl@1d2fc36
GL_VENDOR     ATI Technologies Inc.
GL_VERSION    2.1.7412 Release

The next step is trying one of the JOGL unit tests to see if it works. First copy junit.jar, ant.jar, and ant-junit.jar into the "jar" dir of a JOGL installation (I assume you've got JUnit and Ant installed somewhere so you can get these JARs). Then cd into the JOGL installation directory and type this:

java -cp ".;jar\gluegen-rt.jar;jar\nativewindow.all.jar;jar\jogl.all.jar;jar\newt.all.jar;jar\jogl.test.jar;jar\junit.jar;jar\ant.jar;jar\ant-junit.jar" -Djava.library.path=lib com.jogamp.opengl.test.junit.jogl.demos.gl2.gears.TestGearsAWT

You should see a window with spinning gears, and the unit test's result should be "OK" on the command line. If this fails for some reason, add

-Dnewt.debug=all -Dnativewindow.debug=all -Djogl.debug=all

to the command line, rerun the unit test, and post the command line output here.
