Trying to set up a new box 9.0-RELEASE w/ X; has ATI Radeon HD5500 card. X.org -config says: Missing output drivers. Configuration failed. From X.org I see one is supposed to get linux drivers from ati/amd, but this info is over 2 years old and http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx only allows choices of drivers for windoze. Can anyone point me to a useable driver, or if these cards are essentially unusable, make a suggestion for a reliable card suitable for non-gaming (2-D) X work? Should one use an Nvidia card with the Linux 295.53 driver? Thanks, Gary
