ATi Drivers & Linux

· by John Chen

Tired of messing around with ATI drivers while using Linux? I’ve seen many people change their cards just to have better compatibility with drivers when using Linux.

“ATI’s Proprietary drivers are not Red Hat specific, they are currently packaged in RPMs for convenience for dominant market players. Distribution vendors including SuSE and Gentoo regularly simply repackage the drivers for the convenience of their distribution users. There are a large number of users covering SuSE, Red Hat, Gentoo, Debian and Mandrake. Careful examination of the documentation and download site will show only glibc and XFree requirements.”
