fglrx (was hosed by lunar update)

[Richard Pyne]

I want to offer my sincere thanks to those who put forth the effort to 
help solve this driver problem.

However, I was never able to get the latest fglrx driver to properly 
support my 1440 x 900 laptop screen. After doing a considerable amount of 
searching and reading, I decided to try the radeonhd driver and it 
supports my screen beautifully.

While the radeonhd driver somewhat new and does not yet support #d 
accelleration, for my purposes, it does everything I need. From my 
reading, I also expect it to become the driver of choice for the ATI 
Radeon videl cards.

Thanks again.
