I'm not using any such package now (don't do 3D games), but I do have an
(old) ATI card (Radeon 7000/VE) in my machine. As I'm willing to volunteer
the time of others, I suppose I could test an ATI package on my machine if
that would be useful. Let me know.
Won't be very useful because the ati-fglrx packages need a Radeon 8500
or above.
