The only reason to use ati-drivers is to have fast, accelerated OpenGL. |

You're probably not using ati-drivers at all. So you're a bit |
| 47 |
off-topic to this whole thread :P fglrx ("ati-drivers") required an |
| 48 |
xorg.conf entry. This is done with aticonfig --initial and after that |
| 49 |
you have to run the Catalyst Control Center ("amdcccle" in a terminal, |
| 50 |
you'll also find it in the start menu) and adjust your resolution and |
| 51 |
other settings (anti-aliasing, vsync, anisotropic filters, etc.) there. |
