yup, phoronix is definitely ATi biased.
I'd use fglrx if it would just work. But i've tried literally everything, but no go on Ubuntu or Fedora, (HD4870). I can get the driver to compile and load into memory, but if i try to start X it freezes.
It does work however on my laptop (mobile 9600), which is some 5 years old.
Everything is relative, but one thing is for sure, ATi does not know how to write drivers, may it be windows or linux, they just suck period.
