Well it doesn't help me much, I'm just a user.  I have a multi-boot system and 
on an up-to-date aptosid install, the radeon driver works very well.  Squeeze 
seems to be stuck with a version that is unstable (sigh) on my hardware.

For what it's worth, one thing that did help with the fglrx in squeeze was 
turning checking "disapble functunality checks" in "Configure Desktop Effects - 
Advanced"

Thanks,
