[Eug-lug] Am I missing the big picture?

[larry price]

Perhaps these instructions might help
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

If you are still having trouble bring it to the next Clinic (12/07)

for the record the google bait I used to find the above instructions was
"ATI drivers Ubuntu"

Unfortunately video cards are still stuck in the dark ages, binary
driver blobs, proprietary interfaces and all, blech!
