I my case, I think the true problem is related to the incompatibility of this driver with ATI RV3XX Series card, which explain the "No devices detected".
See : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/284408

After manually installing all /etc/ati/ missing files, amdpcsdb was generate automatically after aticonfig invocation. But since the fglrx module could not be load properly just before... All these are useless.

Having a driver from ATI which supports old GPU series, compiles and runs with recent kernel and xserver, is not for now...

Anyway and at least, the Xorg team did a very good work with the free radeon driver. It is a little bit slower, but after having found a good balance between the driver performance and Compiz Settings, it works quite well. :)
