Try this excellent FAQ:

By the way, I've tried the latest ATI drivers, and they don't work as
well as the 3.2.8 drivers. Don't know why drivers would get *worse*,
but they did...(check google if you want the older drivers)
If you want to use 3.2.8 with a 2.6.x kernel, you'll have to apply some
patches yourself though (see FAQ).
