[ale] help - ATI video card hell

[Ron Frazier]

Thanks for the info.

I found this very long and annoying procedure:

http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide

and followed it.  I have no idea what it did, and it was a real pain to 
get done.  If AMD wrote the driver for Linux, why can't they provide a 
one click (or few click) GUI installer like they do for other OS's?  
Installing a video card shouldn't take 2 hours of research and procedures.

Anyway, my monitor is once again doing what it's supposed to do, and 
using all it's pixels.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
