Does it matter what is installed first, a proprietary video driver or proprietary multimedia codecs?
Is there a recommended installation order for any other software?
Of course, my system has the open source drivers out of the box. And I know how to install the closed source ATI driver and not free codecs like mp3, DVD etc. The question was: what to install first, the ATI driver or the codecs.
If I understand jefro's post correctly the order of drivers/codecs installation isn't important anymore.
