[Lust] Is there anybody out there?

[Nathen R Clark]

Hi,

I'd only joined the list myself yesterday. ( hello all )

Only experience I've had with ATI has been 2 boxes I bought 1 came with 
a 9700 and the other 9800 pro. I won't say they've given me grief but 
when running them it's obvious that ATI don't put the time into linux 
the way Nvidia has. (no help in your situation ofc)

Debian isn't my cup of tea but what driver are you using with the ati 
card the one provided by X or 3rd party ?

Cheers

Nathen
