I have also jumped off the ATI train and now am an NVidia fan. So much so that I emailed ATI support and told them that because of their horrible Linux support, I went ahead and bought an NVidia card that installed with no problem in twenty minutes. This after I spent an entire weekend trying to get the ATI drivers to work properly.
I also assured them I wouldn't buy any more of their products until they fixed this. I'm sure my rant may have fallen on deaf ears, but they need to hear it. Goodbye ATI.
