I would suggest you to urge ATI to release a driver under the GPL. Regarding your current issue, I won't and can't help you. I have the same problem, but I refuse to install anything binary-only, and I urge you to do the same. I am using the provided "ati" driver in XFree. I have no issues with this at all, and I even have limited 3d-support. (Ran Frozen Throne in cedega once, before I realized the importance of refusing binary-only software).
