I never tried fglrx, but judging from my experiences with the onboard 
690G on the board I bought at the beginning of this year (with the two 
open source X11 drivers for it) the word "proper" is not appropriate 
when you want a working system.

And I'm not talking about stuff like Xv or even 3D - all I'm asking for 
is that DVI works flawlessly (and without sporadic GPU lookups).

Note that this is not meant against the developers of the open source 
drivers - that's simply one of the many areas where recent hardware
does not work flawlessly under Linux and developing drivers that work 
flawlessly takes some time.
