I had lots of trouble with the ATI drivers recently after I had
purchased a new video card. I returned it and got a Nvidia card instead.
Running the 2.6.10 kernel.

As luck would have it, I had trouble with the NVIDIA 6629 driver under
2.6.10 -- bug on their part, so I had to bacrev to 6111. Alas, 6111
doesn't like 2.6.10, so I had to backrev my kernel to 2.6.8.1 Wah!!!!!!
