I have followed the instructions fount here and i have tried installing the proprietary drivers and i keep on getting the same problem. Whenever i install either driver as soon as i reboot im met with what appears to be a bunch of pink lines in the center of my screen.
I have tried changing various settings in the xorg.conf but the problem persists until i load the default xorg.conf wich puts me back to square 1.
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this card and if theres some trick im missing.

Is the screen corruption still there in a console login ( init 3 )?
If not have you run the aticonfig --initial command or did you use sax2?
Is what i needed to do. Apparently without that command it wont work for 64 bit. Cant for the life of me figure out why that isnt put in the freakin how to but oh well it works now.
