Ah ha!

$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose fglrxinfo
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.21.7 fglrx (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so

So, I went though and made a symlink from
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so and now, the output is much
better:

$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose fglrxinfo
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.21.7 fglrx (screen 0)
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so
libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.21.7 fglrx (screen 0)

After 1 1/2 days of bashing my head into my desk, it all turns out that it
was looking for the file in the wrong place! I owe you a beer.
