Well I finally got the ATI firegl driver working for my Radeon 9000 under Debian Sid running Linux kernel 2.6.4. Since this was a bit of a hassel for me I thought I'd write it down so I don't have to figure it out again later and so anyone else who needs it can hopefully find the information out there somewhere!
This is all pretty Debian specific, I'm sure it's just as easy under redhat or whatever, but we all know that Debian is better ;-)
If I've got anything wrong here or if there is a better way to do this, please let me know by emailing:

-
download the RPM from ATi (for XFree 4.3)
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.i386.rpm
-
Install the kernel headers for your kernel
apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
-
Install the kernel-source package for your kernel
apt-get install kernel-source-
-
Create a symlink for /usr/src/linux to the kernel-headers. Technically this isn't needed, but it makes it easier to keep things straight.
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux
-
Create a symlink for the modules build directory
ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/`uname-r`/build
-
Change the kernel headers to reference the kernel source package's drm include
cd /usr/src
tar -jxvf kernel-source-
.tar.bz2 cd linux/drivers/char
mv drm drm.original
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-
drivers/char/drm drm -
Build & Install the module
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
sh make.sh
cd ..
sh make_install.sh
-
Optionally (but I recommend it to at least learn the options you can use) run fglrxconfig to generate a XF86Config-4 file
