We could research this further. But it's probably not worth it, because,
if your card is new, it will require a recent driver, which is not
available in Squeeze.

Have you tried the driver in Wheezy (testing)? It may have more relaxed
dependencies and still be up to date. But it probably won't.
So let's do this. Try to compile the fglrx package from sid on squeeze.
$ apt-get source ${fglrx-package-name}
$ cd ${fglrx-package-name}
Now edit debian/control and remove build and non-build dependencies as
necessary. Remove or relax the version strings, so it will build and run
on squeeze.
Now you will need the devscripts package and the build-dependencies of
the fglrx package. Install these manually or try (may not work):
$ sudo apt-get build-dep ${fglrx-package-name}
$ sudo aptitude install devscripts
Now run debuild from the sources' dir. You may want to run dch to update
the revision. You may also need to install some other packages: apt-file
is your friend. There will be errors towards the end, regarding missing
gpg keys, but ignore these.
A package will be built outside the sources' dir and you can go from there.

You are welcome, but it may be worth waiting for someone more
knowledgeable than I to reply.
