    Talking ATI video card driver

    Hi

    I have Ubuntu v 8 loaded and I am struggling with my video card driver.
    I have an ATI Radeon 7000 card but I cannot get the driver off the ATI site.

    Hello. Ubuntu normally has a program that detects if you have hardware in need of restricted (non-free) drivers and asks if you want to download and use them. I think it's under System>Administration>Hardware, or something like that.

    Read here for more info on ATI cards in Ubuntu.
