I figured out why even rolling back to the older version of fglrx didn't work for me: looks like my card is fried, at least the 3D functions do not seem to work at all. From the scorching around the GPU area, it looks like it massively overheated (it is a passively-cooled X1300). Not sure if this is just a coincidence or if the driver somehow caused the card to heat up so much...
