Why? I am using xf86-video-ati with no problems at all (in hardened of course)
libdrm-9999, mesa-9999, xf86-video-ati-9999
mesa with gallium nptl pic
And everything is working fine  |

WINE doesn't work well with gallium svn. I currently use the same configuration, but if fglrx actually works with hardened, I will happily downgrade xorg and go back to fglrx.

Ohhh, you meant ati-drivers as the closed ones :/
Sorry for misinterpreting that. Why the latest ati-drivers don't work? |

I havent tested it because im currently at Xorg 1.10, which ati-drivers doesn't support.
However, if it works, I shall happily downgrade back to xorg 9.
However, downgrading is always a bit of a mess, especially because I will have to recompile the kernel for fglrx, rebuild all the X11 drivers, etc .etc

Then it all depends on what you really need
If you need performance the you choose fglrx and downgrade xorg, if you just need shiny desktop (compiz/kwin) then you use the open ones  |
