Re: Fglrx vs ati
the fglrx drivers in the repository are not as recent as the driver you would get from ati.

I used sgfxi to install the video drivers. they pull the latest ati binary driver. I do note though that some mesa and fglrx packages seem to be installed as well during the install process.
So sgfxi would be the way to go. It's down the page http://smxi.org/

It really depends what your goal is. What is it you want to accomplish?
