ATI has discontinued support for 9250 and below for some time now. The only |
| 18 |
option is the open-source radeon driver. It's quite good, actually - much |
| 19 |
more stable than fglrx, has support for almost all features of the cards |
| 20 |
(tvout is a notable exception) and you never have to worry that the next Xorg |
| 21 |
or kernel update will break your graphics drivers. |
