OK, I got it working with the Debian package (actually used the PPA v5.10.58 x64)... This is ugly but if nothing else it's another confirmation that we've got a "boinc" user permissions problem with the ATI driver.

In /etc/default/boinc-client I set the user to "root" in:

# The BOINC core client will be started with the permissions of this user.
#BOINC_USER="boinc"
BOINC_USER="root"

Restarted and it finds the HD58xx card/driver and crunches on it in DNETC.
