[ubuntu-florida] Ubuntu-us-fl Digest, Vol 24, Issue 7

[Mark Cahill]

You may want to check to see if there is a restricted driver for your ATI
card. The open source ATI driver can be a bit finicky with older ATI cards.
I had this same problem a while back, and this solved the problem. As long
as you're fine using restricted drivers, this might get you two working
computers.
