Actually, ATI cards work OOTB with Unity. It later suggests to install<br>
proprietary drivers. However, the driver from ATI's site does not<br>
install directly; packages built from it, or from the repos do.<br>

You're right, Chhatoi. Livecd boots to unity on the ATI, flawlessly.<br>
On the other hand, on NVidia, it boots to gnome2. Of course, I'm talking about livecd and I am using amd64, if that makes any difference.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Chhatoi, Nils and Jim.<br>
<br>
As for Unity, I suppose some people will find it good, others not; like some people find for kde. That's not saying much and that's exactly the point.<br>
