Closed source fglrx is not installed automatically for any card
currently. The restricted modules are there, yes, but not the xorg-
driver-fglrx, and even installing xorg-driver-fglrx does not change
Xorg.conf to use "fglrx" instead of "ati". The open source drivers work
for most cards, including X300 - X850 series.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with the open source ati driver except
for the fact that it would be nice if ATI would allow supporting these
X1000-series cards. So putting "rejected" on the xserver-xorg-video-ati
part.
I think the plans for feisty included allowing automatic use of a
proprietary driver for the X1300 - X1950 series that have not even 2D
support in the open source driver, so leaving discover1-data - ie. your
wish might come true and the proprietary driver would be installed for
your device without manual installation / Xorg.conf modifying.
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Rejected
