Building from git:
1. install build dependencies (xorg-dev packages)
2. checkout the ati git tree
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
3. cd xf86-video-ati
4. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
5. make
6. make install (as root)

Bisecting with git:
1. git bisect start
2. git bisect bad
3. tell git 6.7.197 is good:
git bisect good eb99c3c5c9a2249cb84920f0f225e525fc3a4144
4. build and install (see above)
5. if it's broken:
git bisect bad
if it's working:
git bisect good
6. repeats steps 4 and 5 until you've found the bad commit.
