I have a similar experience (although nv did work for me at one
stage, it doesn't now.)  Out of interest, what sort of ATI card
did you get, and how well does it go with Xorg's driver?  I'm
coming to the conclusion that replacing my GeForce 6600LE card
is the only way I'm going to get something better than the vesa
driver.
