Thanks for the help.

Can I clarify what the result of doing either of these methods is? Do they
install ATI drivers that are "outside" of the standard Ubuntu "supported"
method? The reason I ask is that I am planing on upgrading to 8.10 in the
near future, and it seems that I would be better of vis a vi this upgrade
if i am withing the "expected" installed base, right?
