It's just a symbiosis, anyway, just to confirm the missing libraries, too:

(II) Loading sub module "fglrxdrm"
(II) LoadModule: "fglrxdrm"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/linux/libfglrxdrm.so
dlopen: libatiuki.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/linux/libfglrxdrm.so
(II) UnloadModule: "fglrxdrm"
(EE) Can't load FireGL DRM library (libfglrxdrm.so).
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.85.6
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: 8.85                   
              
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Apr 19 2011 21:30:04
