Let's don't make guesses ;-) better send/copy your current "/etc/X11/
xorg.conf" file so we can see what you have added and how it looks like
now.

2D capabilities are enable without hassle and the chipset seems to be
properly detected.

And here it comes the error. The card's accel is disabled and that's
why you experience a sluggish screen :-/
Just to discard something obvious, do a search for the module
("locate fglrx.ko") and check if it's indeed there, although I don't
think that's the problem, as the module should have been compiled
alongside with the rest of the files just fine. It can be also a bug
in the driver, I've seen some reports by Googling around, for instance:
http://devgurus.amd.com/thread/158718
Maybe is worth for you to report it in Debian BTS or better yet, first
ask for further suggestions at "debian-backports" mailing list.
