I had a lot of problems with ATI drivers a long time ago and that is why I switched to NVIDIA cards. I know nvidia is not on top of the performance chart atm but I have always found their drivers to be much more stable then ATI.
I have a friend that uses ATI cards though and runs Maya I will drop him a line and see what feedback I can get from him.

He suggested going to the autodesk site and verifying that the version of the driver you are using is the one that was certified to work with your version of Maya. Sometimes the latest version of the drivers may not be certified.
What version of maya and os are you running?

If you are running a different version you might want to try rolling back to that version and verify that the problem with snapping still exists. If it does then I am not sure what would be causing snapping not to work.
update: Well there is one thing other then gfx card drivers that dawned on me. I recently responded to someone that was having a similar problem and it turned out that his kid reprogrammed his mouses middle mouse button function. Do all the other middle mouse combo things work like grid (x) and vertex (v) snapping or middle mouse dragging things on the shelf work?
