I got it to install and I can now boot X using ATI's proprietary drivers, but I got no OpenGL support. Running glxgears gives me around 60 fps, so I know that's being done in software!
Looking in /var/log/XFree86.0.log I found this: (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information: (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx (II) fglrx(0): Version: 8.8.25 (II) fglrx(0): Date: Jan 14 2005 (II) fglrx(0): Desc: ATI FireGL DRM kernel module (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version matches driver.
