What would you recommend me between ATI Proprietary and....
 
Hello,
I have debian lenny installed, what would you recommend me between Ati drivers downloade from their site, or the opensource drivers....

Regards!

I recommend you run the command below as root and all will be taken care of, I now use this script as it makes things very easy and sets up /etc/X11/xorg.conf file perfectly:
Code:
cd /usr/local/bin;wget -Nc smxi.org/sgfxi;chmod +x sgfxi;sgfxi
Web page here for information regarding this script.

I have an Nvidia card in my laptop and kept getting kernel xen errors, so I googled the error and found this. It works flawlessly for me, a lot less headaches.

Well i just install the drivers, i get some errors but nothing fatal, X starts fine, but i get some erros in the terminal like
fglrx no matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:5:0:1) found!

dont know exactly what it means!!

Which ATI card are you using?
Did it seem to improve the graphics?
Hopefully someone with an ATI card can comment on those errors.

No matching "device section" sounds like the device section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file does not coincide with the graphics card it found in the PCI:5:O:1 slot. Probably just an fglrx issue, I remember reading about ATI driver issues on that web page.
