Hi, I installed Wheezy yesterday and on first boot Gnome failed to load due to the lack of hardware accelerated graphics.
After a quick google I came across the AtiHowTo [1] page. It says I need to install the proprietary firmware for my particular graphics card. I did that by installing firmware-linux-nonfree as instructed. After rebooting GNOME3 successfully loads. Success. Shortly after I come across the ATIProprietary [2] page. It describes how to install ATI's proprietary display driver. So to my question; what's the difference between the proprietary, binary-only firmware described in AtiHowto [1] and the AMD proprietary display driver described in ATIProprietary [2]. Which one should I use? Is it just a matter of personal preference? Does one offer better performance over the other?
