ATI fglrx drivers aren't a priority in Linux, probably. ATI's video drivers in Windows is a priority.
I read of recent posts of Fedora 12 users not being able to use HD Radeon 5xxx cards. The reason or excuse is that Fedora isn't a 'supported distro.' I don't know what that means. Fedora isn't a Linux distro?!? I am mostly using Debian and Ubuntu but I have a Fedora partition. However, I have a Nvidia card so no problems so far.
It's really a shame because I would probably prefer ATI hardware currently.
I still figure it's a manpower or resources problem. It's probably safe to assume that ATI would like to have better Linux support. Support sounds like it eventually arrives but late and seems like the 'two driver project' takes up a lot of resources.
