For me it seemed that simply copying over the old libGL.so.1 did not work.
I had to make my own set of .deb's from the original
ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86_64.run according to debian/README.hacking
from the Debian packages and then it worked. Probably the kernel module had
to be older, too.
But now it runs with hardware acceleration and I can plan my next
holydays, hurray :)
