ATI X 1600 Pro

[residentalien]

What on earth must one do to get their ATI X 1600 Pro to work properly with Hardy?

The envy drivers cause a black screen

The Ubuntu drivers cause a black screen

The vesa drivers are not an option. Why would I have a nice video card with no 3D effects?

I have seen endless posts regarding ATI drivers and no 3D effects and or black screens. My bug report is not so much that this is a problem but why hasn't anyone fixed it yet? If there is a solution please point me in the right direction, but I have yet to find it. I must insist that the solution be complete and instruct you on how exactly to install the drivers and then how to configure X to use them.

Thanks.
