I did this for a while on potato, and it was ok. It was a little
annoying trying to keep the dependencies straight in apt, though.

I installed the gatos ati.2 drivers over the woody XFree86 and it works
fine with my card. Use the tarball, unpack them and copy them over into
the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers and
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/multimedia. The tarball could probably just be
extracted into /usr and the new files will be placed where they need to
be, but for some reason I'd rather be cautious and copy them myself.
Here's my configs and such, in case they're helpful:
