I can also confirm this on Edgy. fglrx's kernel module is not loaded even when my xorg.conf specifies fglrx. As a result, 3D acceleration is off. However, manually modprobing or adding the module to /etc/modules makes 3D work once again. This just happened recently; it used to be working, in both Edgy and Dapper.
