Don't hold your breath, I just received a response to my latest trouble ticket with ATI about the performance problems with the current ATI Linux driver:
How long has ATI been owned by AMD? My understanding is that AMD is relatively friendly to non-Windows operating systems such as Linux. Perhaps Linux-friendliness has yet to adequately permeate the ATI division?

We have responded to your issue.
Solution:
Dear David:
Unfortunately ATI has no information on the issue you have, as ATI does not support Linux or XFree86.
You probably should refer to Xorg, not XFree86, lest when you report gets to someone knowledgeable they write you off as coming from someone using archaic software.
Drivers are there as a courtesy for your convenience, but are not supported.
