Now with the driver static, I wonder if it might not be worth looking into to see if it is even feasable to try and make it work with the current arch setup.

That doesn't change anything. The driver is incompatible with the current Xorg ABI - and if it isn't, be sure it'll be incompatible with the next version for at least half a year. It is also incompatible with the latest kernel - if not, it will be with the next version. ATI completely fails to keep up with Xorg and kernel development and simply sticks to what Ubuntu releases. Nobody in the Arch team will put that kind of effort in a piece of binary-blob software whose upstream maintainer doesn't even care.
