I found a workaround although it isn't a particularly pretty one. I downloaded the edgy libxrandr2 package from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libs/libxrandr2 and opened it with the archive manager. Extracted the data.tar.gz files and put it in a folder in my home directory. I then wrote a simple bash script:
#!/bin/bash env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/aandr/oldlibs/usr/lib mythfrontend /home/aandr/oldlibs/usr/lib being the directory where the libXrandr.so.2 and libXrandr.so.2.0.0 files are located. It seems to work without issues (at least I haven't encountered any). Granted, it isn't a perfect (or permanent) solution but I didn't have a chance to see what was changed from the edgy version of libXrandr to the one in feisty. It seems like it should work with ati video cards as well. At least I can use it for now. I hope this helps.
