[ale] help - ATI video card hell

[James Sumners]

People say the rule I follow has changed in recent years, but
experiences like yours keeps me convinced otherwise. My rule is "don't
buy an ATI (now AMD) video card for any machine on which I _might
ever_ want to run 3D accelerated X11." The drivers are crap. I buy
nVidia and use nVidia's drivers.

drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
