A few days ago I purchased an ATI Radeon video card. Little did I know that ATI's have a lot of difficulties with Linux. The funny part was that I recalled that it was NVidia that had issues, but I guess I was wrong. My laptop had been running an ATI card and my old machine was using ATI as well. Now, it seems that NVidia is the one that installs smoothly whereas ATI requires a lot of fudging.
Funny thing was that my intention of getting a new video card was to upgrade my linux system. I had some trouble as mentioned before with upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 ubuntu. In the end, I figured part of the problem was the video card/driver since rebooting the system caused some havoc after various upgrade methods. Well, it looks like I'll be stuck with 7.04 until they figure this ATI problem out. Or perhaps, I'll just suck it up and get myself a new NVidia card.
