Hi,

That's right :(
Now, we only have to wait until ATI releases a fixed driver.

The ugliness is not the problem. From the ATI license:

(d)   In addition to the license terms above, with respect  to  portions  of
the Software in source code or binary  form  designed  exclusively  for  use
with the Linux operating system ("ATI Linux Code"), you  may  use,  display,
modify, copy, distribute, allow others to  re-distribute,  package  and  re-
package such ATI Linux Code  for  commercial  and  non-commercial  purposes,
provided that:

   i) all binary components of the ATI Linux Code are not  modified  in  any
   way;

Debian cannot distribute patched binaries. Users will have to apply
those patches themselves until ATI releases a fixed driver.

Please consider these two hacks:

http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33889029

They are ugly but flgrx works again.
It looks it is not possible to have a cleaner solution without the help of ATI.
We do not have the sources of the broken .so and there is no "higher level" way
to  fix xorg version detection logic.
