gatos and ATI 1st msg (Jonathan Kaye)

[Christophe Guilbert]

Thanks Jonathan,

I don't even know myself what I really want because I am lost ;-) (I am 
a linux guy for 10 years) I love Linux (installed on my 7 computers at 
home) but I am kind of tired of reading how things works now.
Anyway the confusion comes from  that gatos is also supposed to be a 
driver for my video card , and  they  are at least 3 drivers for my 
video card, the one provide by gatos should be ATI (in xorg.conf), and 
apparently merge with the official xorg 7.xx driver. but when you google 
for gatos/kubuntu, you find patches and link provided. you are said to 
find the last patch in some ftp/directory wich are reading protected so 
you can't see the latest patch. In any case , I assume that if gatos 
come with kubuntu , you should not need to patch it.
Any way , this is the jungle to me !

I'll try to read more about gatos  and definitely run those exe your 
mention.

Thanks a lots for your help.

Chris
