I have xorg working with fglrx driver with some problems before:
1) You need to expend some time with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
2) You need to patch your 8.21.7 driver.
I have a laptop with FC4 and fglrx working fine (hibernating, suspending,
resuming, etc....).
If you want, I can send you my xorg.conf file and my patched fglrx sources
and you can try them.
Regards
