Depending on your world view, ATI has terrible support for linux, or
linux has terrible support for ATI.  Either way, avoiding ATI and
sticking with Nvidia for linux systems is the approach I take.  Not
that that's any immediate help.

There's the envy tools for building ATI drivers you might also try.
Just search envy in synaptic or aptitude.

I only recently discovered the Debian / Ubuntu `aptitude` command line
program which does the same thing as the synaptic package manager, but
in an ncurses type environment.  Just in case something like that helps
with package shuffling.  There are purely command line options as well,
of course (apt-get, etc.)
