It could also be overdriving the monitor, or the monitor is starting to fail on 
higher frequencies/resolutions, or it right at the edge of what it will take.

Check the frequencies/resolutions that the free driver uses and check the 
resolutions that the ati driver uses, sometimes there is an option on the 
monitor setup that will tell you the active frequency, and compare the two and 
compare to what the monitor claims that it can handle.
