Actually, I'm having the same problem. I Installed the x86_64 diver in my ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 ubuntu feisty based laptop without problems. Now I'm trying to install the ATI RAdeon 9200 driver in my mother's Ati Radeon 9200 Ubuntu feisty i386 based computer.
Well, the archive provided by ATI certainly is a self extracting file. In this particular case, if you want the bash file not to erase the extracted files after executing, you have to use the --keep modifier.
./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run --keep
The code extract is the following:
#!/bin/sh
#
#Purpose: this script is called after .run archive is extracted, "--argument" is passed to this script
# it handles "install," "listpkg," and "buildpkg <package name>"
#Parameters:
# Input:
# $1 - driver version
# $2 - operation to perform (--install, --listpkg, --buildpkg)
# $3 - <package name> if the operation is --buildpkg
# Return:
# status - 1 if error occurs, 0 if not
# External variables:
# X_VERSION and _ARCH are set by check.sh
