installed it alas nothing seemed to change apart from the 
(re-)appearence of the link in the start menu for ATI Catalyst Control 
Center which tells me that "There was a problem initializing Catalyst 
Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.

No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not 
functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your 
ATI hardwire, or configure using aticonfig"

the installed card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 btw. I was getting the 
same error after trying to install from run file from ATI's website on 
my previous attempts. Shall I proceed from here and replace the Driver 
name with "flgx" (or whatever that was) in xorg.conf?

Faithfully yours,
