I've been through 4 driver installs, all successful, with my ATI RADEON 9600 Pro. Not a bit of trouble, not once. The only reason I reinstall is either a kernel upgrade or a driver upgrade. I can't imagine why you'd want to be so discouraging, but there are plenty of people who don't have problems so I suggest, Adler, that you try this. Look at it this way, yesterday you thought you had a 2D card, tomorrow you could have full 3D hardware acceleration.

I've been through just as many installs with a 9800 Pro, and had no success. That very 9800 Pro actually overheated and fried itself after the last install, so I have a very low opinion of ATI products. I was not trying to discourage, only warn that there may be problems, based on my personal experience. This is in no way downplaying yours, as it is just as valid.
