This should still be the case. If not check if /etc/init.d/ati-fglrx is
still enabled. If yes, then please post the output of

/etc/init.d/ati-fglrx start
/etc/init.d/ati-fglrx stop

Maybe ATI changed something and it works now without the kernel-module?

The X-Server will work fine without the kernel-module (a updated modules
hopefully are pushed soon), but 3D-Support won't work.
