I've had talked with the Mesa developers.

There are saying that "client glx vendor string" is the name of the
author of the GLX layer. SGI is shown here as Silicon Graphics played an
important role in OpenGL standardization. Plus, they explained me that
NVIDIA provides their own GLX layer and this is why it says NVIDIA.
Everyone else uses the GLX initially made by SGI.

Thus making it obvious that Adobe didn't even try Flash Player for linux
running with an ATI card and the fglrx drivers. Nor any other card than
NVIDIA ones.

So this is not an ATI problem. It's really up to Adobe (that we already
knew).

Here's the thread of what has been exchanged regarding that client glx
vendor string:

Mean while, I'll try hacking the GLX to have the string changed (from
the link above, the Mesa devs show where is the file to hack).

HTH.
