Way more things changed, especially with respect to the ACPI subsystem
(specifically, the driver made use of a sizeable amount of private
structures)

The following patch kind of works for me; it seems DPMS is still bust
and I get the occasional lock-up, but otherwise I've been happily
compiz'ing and gaming with it for a couple weeks.

As one of the comments mentions, some parts are still quite dirty and
possibly not DFSG compliant (borderline, at least)

The ACPI side almost works, after running it, I noticed I made the
effort to keep track of fglrx-private data (which used to be stuffed
within the acpi layer's own private data), but I forgot to rewire the
actual notifications. Should be trivial now; might explain the DPMS
troubles.

Anyway, right now I'm pretty satisfied with the way my HD 4350 behaves
with this driver... YMMV, HTH.
