Since then, AMD released a X Server 1.5-compatible version of the fglrx proprietary driver.
If you can cope with this driver being non free, it can be an alternative.

Besides I think the problem is only for R600+ cards (HD2/3/4xxx). I tested the radeon driver on older 9700 and X1950 cards and it works very well.
