The library is found if I just replace libGL.so.1.2 it with the mesa one and run ldconfig.
Otherwise I've patched the kernel module and /etc/ati/control to work with my FireGL card. X shows up but I haven't done any testing yet.
I had this with a custom ebuild under Gentoo, I created the symlink to point to the ati library and it seems OK.
