It's not too bad.

1. First make sure you back up the existing radeon (radeon_drv.so) and
ati (ati_drv.so) drivers.
2. install the xorg-dev, mesa-dev, and xserver-dev packages for your distro
3. git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
4. cd xf86-video-ati
5. git checkout randr-1.2
or
git checkout origin randr-1.2
depending on what version of git you are using
6. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
7. make
8. sudo make install
or
make install as root
