I have been running a ATI AGP Video card and had no problems with it under LM9 Gnome and KDE. Since I switched to LMDE, Compiz isn't really working, not sure if it is an ATI problem or Compiz. I guess I'll find out once LMDE Stable is finally released.

I have a ATI Radeon 9700, do I have to install fglrx drivers manually? How do I "fix" my Compiz problem?kbkatz1 wrote:

I'm on a Mobility 5870 and used the 10.9 Catalyst drivers from AMD's site. It was a basic GUI installer and it went through fine. I've probably should've made a package out of it though, as that might've been safer. Something I'll take note of once the next (hopefully 64 bit) version of LMDE is out.

afaik Radeon 9700 is not supported by latest fglrx drivers. You could try using an older one or stick to the opensource driver radeon mentioned here http://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo

I feel I should apologize to Specmod, I feel I have taken over his thread.
