OK, I am having a challenging time with my video drivers, which I am not complaining, I knew this whole process was going to be an experience builder, I like a challenge. I am a game designer in the works that is why I am liking this OS because of all the different developing software they have that are open source. Any way I finally fingered out how to use the terminal to install the ATI drivers for my card, strait from ati web site, run the aticonfig, which i dont know if I am soppost to modify any thing, reboot and it loads to the blue and white load screen and freezes. had to reinstall fresh. You said
" I'm sure Kevin Kofler will have more to say on this subject, as he seems to be more up-to-date on the state of the free ATI drivers than I am."
I do not think I am installing XFree86-Mesa-libGL correct. Pretty sure I got the rest, libstdc++, libgcc, XFree86-libs, fontconfig, freetype, zlib, gcc
