Check out http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269 all the stuff
that the ati-fglrx-config-display python script is supposed to do,
doesn't happen. If you read the script and do the work by hand, you
can get it to work, but on my system, I then run into this bug:
http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=37 (at least on x86_64), and
the system hard hangs when I exit the X server (though I haven't tried
the 8.31.5 - maybe it is better, but I have the open source radeon
driver working well for me now, so I'm not sure I want to venture
back into fglrx land :-).
