I finally got the driver installed, but mixing packages from stable, unstable and experimental repositories, and a lot of fiddling with sources.list. I don't see how this is more user friendly than installing mesa + libdrm. But it works, and I'm happy for now.
2d and basic desktop effect functionality is considerably worse than with the OSS ATi drivers, which is disappointing considering that this essentially a flagship card and my ATi is low-end from 2 years ago.
3d is obviously excellent.
This is exactly how I remember it being on my laptop, and exactly the opposite of what some people claim on here. As soon as more recent AMD cards catch up in the 3d department, there will be no comparison.
