ATI Brought Me Solutions As Well As Problems
I’ve been wanting to get a new, or at least different graphics card for a little while now. My past experience has been with NVIDIA cards and not with ATI so I figured I would be learning a thing or two with this card, especially with how it works with Linux. And learn a few things I did.
My NVIDIA chip never worked “out of the box” with Ubuntu. Until I installed the restricted driver my desktop was unusable. I would have half of my screen blanked out and if I auto-resized the screen from my monitor’s menu, it would size it up almost correctly but either the top or bottom panel would be out of view. And the graphical rendering was horrible. After a restricted install and reboot, everthing was back to looking great.
The ATI card did not have this problem.
