I think legacy proprietary driver packages exist on RPMFusion.
A legacy driver won't do any good, you'd need a legacy X as well since the drivers changed to accommodate the changed requirements of X itself (which is why pretty much all video is busted now except for the handful of cards the X developers use :-).
It has definitely been mostly improving (I have one antique ATI card that got worse with fedora 13, all the others got better).
What I'm looking forward to is RHEL 6 being based on this new X. I can't wait till large paying corporate customers find all their video busted. (That's when you'll find the quality of the drivers suddenly improving at an accelerated pace :-).
