I may be telling everyone what they already know....but thought I would add my 2cents.
AFAIK the "ati" driver is for the really old ati video cards and it uses the mach64 module which doesn't contain any microcode that I could find. The mach64 module is not shipped anymore due to security issues and is no longer developed afaik. The end-user needs to build it and then it will be loaded. This is where I get foggy - I think there are also various newer ati *radeon* video cards which use either the radeon, r200, r300, module or some confusing mess like that. As Kevin Dean pointed out, the radeon does have a microcode section. Not sure about the r200/r300 modules. Not sure if you could (or should) use the "ati" driver for the radeon cards. In regards to the problem - I would start by looking at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and seeing what errors and warnings it has and let us know.
