I was reviewing some news on the ATI drivers and ran across a note that
Xorg 7.2 has issues with ATI's drivers. Seems ATI needed to patch their driver 
code and test against Xorg 7.2. Hmmm.

The ATI Radeon/FireGL driver code was any version less than ATI Catalyst video 
driver v8.33.6. You may want to wait to test the latest version with Xorg 7.2. 
It wasn't mentioned if v8.35.5 (i.e. still used for the FireGL cards) of the 
ATI driver code fixed the problem.

The currently closed ATI RAdeon video device driver is v8.36.5 as of today 
(05/15/2007).

I know there is no port to Sun Solaris of this specific ATI driver code for 
ATI's RAdeon/FireGL cards - just FYI for now.
