9 Just FYI, I also have a recent ATI card in my system. I tried the
10 ati-drivers initially, but they suck. They perform poorly for 2D, and
11 they are strictly 32bit so you also have to run mixed-mode X server on a
12 64 bit system.

14 The open-source x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati package works much better.
15 If you don't really need the 3D acceleration I'd recommend you switch
16 to that.
