did you start with a 'aticonfig --initial --input /etc/X11/xorg.conf' ?

actually reading my Xorg.0.log it almost sounds as if it is only for
Xorg 7.1, but it could be i misread wht it says, we are talking about
8.27.10 drivers, right? (i ended up using the ati installer to unpack,
and put libs into the right place, since it uses the /usr/X11R6/*
locations, and it did not match my AMD64 setup), i have not had time to
adapt the spell to match what i am doing, all i can say is that it works

"(II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
   compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.27.10"

what you would want to try is run the ati installer from their website,
so it can not start X, choose the second custom option and instead of
installing to / install to /someplacesafe  then you can see what is
installed and move it, at least till the spell does it correctly for
xorg using the new locations for modules/drivers/extensions/libs

sorry that this is taking me so much time, i need to not only adapt it
to x86_64 but also to xorg 7.1

so if you just install on x86, the moving of files from /usr/X11R6
to /usr/lib/xorg places (check that 6.9 already uses those) should be
trivial.

Sorry this sounds so messy, hope some of it still helps.
