Video Card


I have an ATI Radeon x800 Pro. I am wanting to install the drivers. How do I do this?

Do you have your driver configured properly right now?, if so I suggest you to keep your current driver until you change your kernel. Even more, if you installed your current driver with apt-get, then wait until the last ATI driver is available in the repositories. It's not worth to risk some problems with your X configuration just to try the latest driver that in any case is just an update of the last one.
