I think you need a newer kernel than 2.6.8 to run an ATI chipset.  If
you can find one with 2.6.12, you could try that.  For amd64 I keep one
around at www.tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64 while for i386 only you
would have to look elsewhere for one (I imagine they exist).

You could also try your luck on the daily testing/unstable installer
builds and see if they do any better.

Good luck, with ATI chips and linux you will need it.
