Funny, this is the problem I had with ATI for almost a month before I 
purchased an nVidia card and was up and running in less than 30 minutes.

I have only nVidia in all my new computers.  :)

It all has to do with the threat of litigation.  Blame the US for making 
it legal to patent software.

FWIW, people around work are having problems with the latest ATI drivers 
in Windows as well.
