IIRC, neither the proprietary or open-source ATI drivers support the full OpenGL feature set atm and unfortunately FG uses several of the features that the ATI drivers can't currently handle. AMD/ATI have said that they plan to improve OpenGL support and I've heard that they have made some progress in that area - perhaps some other users have tried the newer ATI drivers with success. I haven't heard anything about how the xorg drivers are progressing but you can see what support is working or planned on the xorg web-site somewhere.
