Hi Davide, Can you better define 'decent video quality'? I've got a Radeon HD 5770 on this system installed about 6 month ago. I do use a xorg.conf file. (xorg-server-1.9, machine is mostly stable + a few testing packages) I don't emerge radeon-ucode for my card. If I know what you're doing I can look here and compare. Feel free to contact me offline for specific info if it helps. Cheers, Mark
