Hi !
This, I can reply to :)
Now that we start to see some working free drivers for ATI cards, one
should use the name fglrx when referring to the proprietary drivers. The
fglrx drivers are the ones that have issues with the -rt kernels. You
should be safe with the xf86-video-radeonhd or xf86-video-ati driver (yes,
even with a radeonHD card, xf86-video-ati will work). Although remember
that on r6xx and r7xx chipsets, both drivers are far from bug free
(although it does work for me for everyday use).
Cheers,
Marc-Olivier Barre.

a
much quicker and stable sustem with the ST GPU. So I guess that it's a
problem
with the Ubuntu RT-kernel (2.6.28-3-rt) and possible in combination with
some
motherboard issues that I haven't figured out yet.
I'm planning on running a recent Radeon with the new free ATI driver
(called 'radeonhd?'). Is that going to be a problem?
