Hi Davide,
Some questions:
1. What's your card - I'm running ATI Radeon 9550 2. Where did you get the package? Did you get it from ATI and build the debs yourself or what?
I'm downloading the ATI driver now (from the ATI site) and I'll report back if it installed ok or if I had problems too (version 41 didn't work too well - I couldn't run googleearth with it so I'm still using version 8.39.4)
Cheers,
Jonathan
