“Readers of this blog are no doubt very familiar with my video
drama/issues over the ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 HD chip in my Lenovo
G555 laptop.“Things have been blurry and wavy, sometimes fixable with the
fglrx/Catalyst proprietary driver (Ubuntu 10.04), sometimes not
(Fedora 14).“In Debian Squeeze, I can run the open-source ati/radeon driver
with no problems. And that’s what I’ve been doing.“I’ve been anxious to try the next Ubuntu release, which will be
even closer to the proverbial bleeding edge than usual, opting for
a new interface called Unity that is slated to knock Gnome out of
its default spot in the wildly popular Linux distribution.“Well, Ubuntu 11.04 “Natty” is at Alpha 2 status right now, and
there are ISOs to try.”
