I'm using Gentoo, and used someone else's ebuild to download/install them.

To be honest, I've noticed nothing all that great about them, though I haven't had a chance to try 1080i yet (I'll try that tonight if I decide to stick with them). But as far as performance go, the open-source drivers seem to be out-performing ati's proprietary driver. Which is fairly sad when you think about it.

So I'll fiddle tonight with my VGA->Component adapter and the modelines, as well as the extra settings the fglrx driver has over the open-source driver, and let you know what my final thoughts are.

But for a budget card (I have a 9000 in there right now) it seems the open-source drivers (kernel/Xorg) are the better choice.

  But I could be wrong!
