I guess you upgraded xserver-xorg-core from 1.3 to 1.4 at the same time.
So it's not completely clear that the problem is in
xserver-xorg-video-ati. To check that, could you try the package that I
rebuilt at:
http://people.debian.org/~bgoglin/ati-rebuilds/6.6.3-Xserver1.4/
It's the old 6.6.3 for the current xserver-xorg-core 1.4 in unstable.
Then, could you try xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.194-1 currently in
experimental? The 6.6.x branch is dead now, all the fixes are made in
the 6.7.x branch.
