Hello Iain,
Like you, I have had some issues with ati-drivers, particularly with newer
[580} chipsets. I went to an ATI site and poke around reading for a while.
I've been using 8.39.4 for quite some time on 2 newer systems and it
is stable(or at least with the 3D game bzflag) and normal workstation usage.
My experience is trial and error, burning lots of time before you find
an ati-driver that works good with your chipset. I'm not sure the criteria
or who marks ati-drivers as stable, but, ati-drivers-8.39.4 would get
an affirmative from me.
hth,
James
