ATI video card possible or not?

[Tyler Roach]

I am using an ATI card (Radeon 9250), and I have found that the 
open-source drivers work much much better than the proprietary ones. I 
am using beryl and it's working great. You should be able to find a 
tutorial for the ati open source drivers at the Ubuntu wiki.
