New ATi linux drivers

[liambl]

I just thought I would try Ubuntu on my laptop again and found ATi has some new linux driver.
These drivers are so much easier to install. There is no mucking in terminal, no editing files. The installer is even GUI, just log in as root and double click the installer, just as if it was Windows. It makes all the necessary changes to the xorg.conf files and sorts out fglrx all for you. It even installs a Catalyst Control Center much like that in Windows, with options to view the hardware, set manual settings (AA, AF mipmap, ect). I am very impressed with this solution to install the drivers in linux, much better than nVidia's installer, which requires you to shutdown X, change the run level, modify the xorg.conf file and you're lucky to get through without lots of frustrating errors.

All in all, well done ATi for bringing out some decent up to date drivers for Linux, and incorporating it in an extremely easy to install package.

Pros:
-Easy to install
-Up to date driver

Cons:
-None that I know of
