ATI noooooo!!! hehe. As commented above i'm almost 100% sure you'll have troubles. At least in my case, ATI 4850, i cannot use X at all. ATI has no support for kernel 2.6.29 yet and arch have a patch for that but it does not work for some card, for example my card. Xorg didn't recognize mi card even with the fglrx driver. Sooo...my recomendation, again as above, buy nvidia. I read you don't like nvidia but is a more serious company at least in support and driver updates. I sell mi ati card and buy a XFX 9800 GT. Is a little less power but it works a lot better and have no problem. However if you don't mind 3d acceleration for the moment, the radeonhd drivers is a good alternative, and it seems that in kernel 2.6.31 i'll have KMS support. -- Ricardo Hernández ( richerVE )
