Maybe. I had exactly the same problem, and you'll have to dissect the 
8.22.5 driver form ATI and manually do the recompiling, etc. They 
apparently have hardcoded something in the driver.

If you want it, I can attach my bash_history file, or maybe we could 
talk on irc to get it done?

I followed a guide from Cerebral (archlinux user), who helped me get it 
to work on dapper.

I have an T42P with FireGL T2. Write to me offlist.

Sincerely
Max
