I would advice you to keep an eye out on the radeon and radeonhd driver,
their development is interesting.
Besides that, the proprietary ATI driver is a perfect example of why free
software is important, in this case performance and stability based.

The ATI proprietary driver seems to be a problem in itself and the
problems it could cause have probably nothing to do with Trisquel. I
installed it in Ubuntu 9.10 to see if there was significant difference in
performance with the free one and I was unable to reboot into Ubuntu (not
even in recovery mode). In the end I had to boot into Trisquel and edit
Ubuntu's xorg.conf in order to comment the lines of the ATI driver. It is
certainly not to be recommended in any case.
