I got it finally working by correctly applying the patch from [2] and
rebuilding `libpciaccess0` as described in comment 12 [3]. I post the
updated comments here.

Find out the PCI address(?) of your graphics device.

        $ lspci # ASRock E350M1
        00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Device [1002:9802]
        […]

Then build the package `libpciaccess0`.

        $ sudo aptitude install devscripts
        $ sudo aptitude build-dep libpciaccess0
        $ debcheckout libpciaccess0
        $ cd libpciaccess0
        $ # copy <http://pastebin.com/swpDj4FD> to file `fglrx.patch`
        $ editor fglrx.patch # change `pci_device_find_by_slot(0, 1, 0, 0)` to `pci_device_find_by_slot(0, 0, 1, 0)` in `src/common_interface.c` and `src/common_io.c`
        $ patch -p1 < fglrx.patch
        $ dch # add entry to Debian changelog
        $ git commit -a
        $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -B
        $ sudo dpkg -i ../libpciaccess0*.deb


Thanks,

Paul
