What a pain in the (_*_)! I lost 3 hours in this thing, and someone asks me if ATI drivers are good! The question by itself is a joke.
Tell me about it, if you have one of their latest cards, OK, they should work, mostly, but expect stuff to crash, their linux drivers are not really something they care about THAT much. Of course, newer cards get better support, but hey, I have one of the IGP 340 on both notebooks, and it JUST SUX, their drivers do not work, they're are simply refered by ATI as "not-supported". C'mon, I had an old TNT2 and it worked like a charm using NVidia drivers (it had 32MB of memory, and performed better than my IGP with 64MB and 4 years younger). What can you expect from a vendor that do not support their older hardware and have not all features on the newer? They should work harder. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
