I have tried pulling the latest distro-specific packing but it doesn't
seem to work their either. I followed the process outlined on Phoronix
(which I adapted to work with the 8-11 release) with little success.

Mario, when you said that the scripts on phorogit are up to date, I
assume this is what you were talking about, is that correct?
I was able to get the fglrx kernel module to build by playing around
with various versions in some of the scripts, but I was never able to
get the module to actually load successfully. (I think I also saw the
same thing when I ran the installer with "--install" rather than using
the "--buildpkg Ubuntu/8.04" option.) The new error I ran into has
something to do with memory allocation or drm, but I'm not sure. Here
are the kernel messages:
fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg,
GERMANY' taints kernel.
[fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 1171 MBytes.
[fglrx:drm_alloc] *ERROR* [driver] Allocating 0 bytes
[fglrx:firegl_init_device_list] *ERROR* Out of memory when allocating
device heads
[fglrx:firegl_init_module] *ERROR* firegl_init_devices failed
I found a post related to this as well,
http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?p=51644 . One of the
suggestions was making sure to fully remove and reinstall the packages,
which did not appear to resolve my issue. Also, running "aticonfig
--initial -f" was suggested, but I kept ending up with a segfault.
aticonfig[21764]: segfault at 0000000c eip 08053d0d esp bfa31250
error 6
I thought the "fglrx" kernel module was technically optional? I realize
that most of the cool stuff would be disabled, but It should still at
least provide a working X environment, right? I'm assuming that trying
to mix and match kernel modules and X drivers would be a bad idea...
