I've been having great difficulty getting anything other than the vesa driver to run with this card, but the good news is, I somehow managed to get fglrx running (I have absolutely no idea what I did). Unfortunately, I still can't get direct rendering to work. I tried this command from the wiki:
$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo >/dev/nullbut it didn't give me any error messages. Here are the error/warning messages I found in Xorg.0.log:

EndSectionI checked that fglrx_dri.so is in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri, which I believe is where it should be. By the way, I'm running arch64 with the 2.6.27 kernel from testing (but not xorg-server 1.5). I never got the driver to work at all with the 2.6.26 kernel. Any idea what's wrong?

I'm bumping this. I have same issue. DRI modules exists, but can't be found. My best guess is that the module in /usr/bin/xorg/modules/dri doesn't match the x server version. I've tried downgrading both kernel and properitary ATI driver (to 2.6.25 and 8.5) bringing the system back to it's former state where direct rendering was enabled. This didn't solve it however.
So maybe it's the xorg-server that needs to be downgraded.
btw my card is a Radeon HD 2400 XT

Good to know I'm not the only one, haha. With enough messing around I figured something out. It looks like catalyst-utils 8.9 replaces /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so with its own version of the file (unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the kernel module to build). I think I inadvertently deleted that file altogether in trying to get the driver working, which incidentally helped, since the 8.8 driver won't run at all with either the catalyst 8.9 libdri or the original, and apparently it doesn't come with its own. The good news is, I think updating to 8.9 will solve the problem. If only I knew how to make that happen...

Got the same problem with Radeon X1600, but successfully solved.
1. I was installed catalyst 8.9 driver by building package manually, when installing, it replaced my /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so with its own libdri.so. Driver worked properly.
2. Yesterday, after upgrading the kernel, i found the driver not working.
3. I reverted to driver from repos (catalyst 8.8.2), but it didn't work.
4. cat /var/log/Xorg0.log|grep EE gave me this:
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) fglrx: Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) fglrx(0): DRI module is not loaded.
(EE) fglrx(0): XMM failed to open CMMQS connection.5. Module "dri" is related to libdri.so, then
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so is owned by xorg-server 1.4.2-26. Then I removed xorg-server, catalyst, catalyst-utils and installed again, after configuring with aticonfig and restarting X everything works properly.
