Is your ati card covered under radeon (classic) or radeonhd? Unless you need hardware 3d, fglrx is too much effort. More bitchy than nvidia, too. (Unselect 'Use OpenGL' v2 in Destkop Effects->Advanced to keep kwin from crashing). Also, LXDE looks prettier than KDE4 without OpenGL, and XRender disables half the plugins because they require OpenGL. A prime example of this is the desktop cube. -- m0shbear
