You are aware that as of last week there are new X.Org drivers available from 
ATI Version: 8.10.19

http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm

Full 3D support listed for the 9200 and many others.

Might want to give this a try.

BUT -  make sure you read all documentation and release notes for the 
proprietary drivers
