I have it working in X.org with no problem. I just can't get the drm

the problem was a lack of PCIE support in the drm drivers.
I'd try again, I have a vague memory of reading a changelog a few releases ago that mentioned PCIe support in radeon-drm.
FYI the fglrx drivers suck badly. ATI hasn't bothered to keep their
drivers up to date at all and the result is that they finally have
working 2.6.14 drivers but only for 32 bit machines. x86_64 is still
broken on any recent kernel and it's been that way for months. ATI's tech
support basically gave up after several days and just informed me it
wasn't really supported and there is nothing they could do for me.
You're better off running open source drivers anyway, it's less hassle, you don't have to worry about every kernel upgrade breaking them, and it's only an X300 anyway -- on my Mobility 9600, I just play a few small games and expect OpenGL accelerated applications to work properly.
If your goals are similar, they're probably achievable with mainline.
