No, I Think it's ATI duty to change something. The log message says it clearly:
"DRI version = 5.0.0, expected 4.1.0"

I had some similiar problems with my builtin SiS card on my laptop and Debian
Sarge (at that time SID). It always switched back to mesa software rendering
*without* some clear info messages in x-syslog. Debian provided a
backward-compatibility package with some mesa/dri things from older x-server
versions. But I think such a solution should be a definitive optional package,
because drivers shipped with x-org 6.8.2 (ati precisely) do *not* work with the
older libdri.a on my machine! If I do not uncommet the Load "dri" line in
xorg.conf, than I only can see strange deferred objects on screen ... But again,
I don't have some possibilities of comparison here so that I can't really prove
it generically.
