ATI catalyst 8.4 or even 8.3 package acquiring

I'm not sure whether I'm posting in the right section, but here goes.

The problem I have is (again) with the ATI drivers. It seems that the Catalyst drivers version above 8.4 brought nothing but trouble to me (various segfaults, glxgears freezing while still counting FPS lol, WINE corrupted display in fullscreen, system hard freeze when trying to restart X, and so on).

It seems that the Catalyst version 8.4 (or maybe even 8.3) worked best for me, at least up to now.

I understand there is a need for a patch since I'm running kernel 2.6.26 (patched for PHC, and I really wouldn't like to give that one up), so I'd like to know whether there is a PKGBUILD and an appropriate patch for me out there, and if so, where and how to acquire it.

Many thanks!
