-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would try and grab the fglrx from ati/amd directly. This may or may not work, ATI has been a massive headache to me in the past. Intel is my first choice (true proper open source drivers), followed by nVidia (all I can say is that nVidia tends to suck less than ATI in my experience).
