ATI Drivers for Debian Linux
Hi all,

I've been looking for an ATI driver for my Debian machine for quite some time. I'm currently using a VESA driver from my X configuration, and my highest resolution is 1024x768. Since my monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024, everything looks fuzzy and bad. Does anyone know where I can find a driver for an ATI 3D Rage Pro for Linux?

Thanks in advance!

Use the open source X11 ATI driver. The video device section in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 should look like this:
Code:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "ati"
EndSection
