Yes, still apply, but AMD/ATI just released a 9.8 driver that should
build on 2.6.30.*, avoiding the need to use Sid's xorg if you fear that.
It has been running daily for a week and half here without any issue
though. fglrx is lousy anyway so expect a few glitches when using
compositing and video or "googleearth" for instance, and maybe some
other hardware specific issues. I use it only because I share the laptop
with my son who use Xmoto, foobilliard and the like which doesn't run
with the radeon driver.
