The FX series chips are not supported by the 295.33 driver. You have to 
use the legacy driver, which has not been updated for kernel 3.3 AFAIK. 
I'm using the 295.33 driver with my 9000 series chips and the 3.3 kernel 
without a problem.

I would suggesting using nouveau over the binary driver for your very 
old, slow chip. The NVIDIA binary driver will not provide you with a 
better experience.
