I've seen many people with problems with the ATI 200M video card on Edgy. I'm not a total newbie, but when it comes to fglrx and all the other stuff, I'm clueless. I just want a simple, plain walkthrough on getting 3D Acceleration, and Beryl (Or Compiz) working on my card. I've also seen people getting errors only on Edgy, with it working fine in Dapper. I have no problem with downgrading to Dapper, just as long as I can update all my packages and stuff . . .

I think there is a sollution not sure though. I do not have an ATI card but lets try this:
apt-cache search linux | grep fglrx
you gonne get a binary linux kernel module package. Install it.
apt-get install fglrx-kernel-source

After that you have to install the driver itself:
again:
apt-cache search fglrx
you gonna get some results. I would choose the xorg-driver-fglrx and the fglrx-control to be installed.
Now ya need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Choose the fglrx to the driver instead of vesa.
The 3D is still not enabled but you are on the right track.

I found some good URLs for ya if you wanted to use XGL, Beryl and the others:

Good luck... I have SiS chipset so these fancy stuffs are not working on my notebook.

This is the section I presume you mean to change after installing fglrx

Where "fglrx" is was "ati".

yeah... something like that (^_^)

Ok, I get this:
