yes :)
First make sure you have the xorg, drm, xserver devel and macro
packages for your distro, then install git-core.  You'll also need the
following if you don't already have them:
pkg-config
m4
autoconf
automake
libtool
gcc

Once you have them, we can go about grabbing the sources.  First back
up your old radeon_drv.so and ati_drv.so
(/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers).

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
cd xf86-video-ati
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

then restart and see what happens.  Let me know if you run into any
problems along the way.
