xorg 7 and ATI proprietary driver (fglrx)

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  Is it possible to make ATI proprietary driver fglrx work with the 
latest xorg packages?

  I installed fglrx packages (build the kernel module etc.) but it 
doesn't seem to accept xorg 7:

(II) fglrx(0): UMM Bus area:     0xd0acb000 (size=0x07535000)
(II) fglrx(0): UMM area:     0xd0acb000 (size=0x07535000)
(II) fglrx(0): driver needs X.org 6.8.x.y with x.y >= 99.8
(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 7.0.0.0
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx"
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmOpen failed
(EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!
(WW) fglrx(0): ***********************************************
(WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!                  *
(WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) *
(WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO)             *
(WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available                *
(WW) fglrx(0): ********************************************* *

  does it mean it's not going to work until ATI releases a new driver 
with support for xorg 7? Anybody had any success with the free driver 
(it has at least some 3D experimental features).

  relevant packages:

ii  fglrx-control                   8.24.8-1
ii  fglrx-driver                    8.24.8-1
ii  fglrx-driver-dev                8.24.8-1
ii  fglrx-kernel-2.6.15jojda        8.24.8-1+jojda.0
ii  fglrx-kernel-src                8.24.8-1

ii  xserver-xorg                    7.0.22

  TIA,
