You can get the latest "unreleased" ATI drivers at:
http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/download_ati.html

I have v3.2.5 for X 4.2.  It builds under kernel 2.6.

Propriatary drivers for ATI don't bug me -- I mean, if the knowledge
of how to make killer drivers was "in the general community", superfast
graphics boards would be a dime a dozen.  It is qualitatively different
from netcards, hd controllers, even sound, cause it's so bleeding edge.
