[ellis dee]

I'm new @ Ubuntu/Linux and an having difficulty trying to install ATI Raedon X1600 Video Driver in Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 and again after further upgrade to 10.04LTS.

I had it working before but not sure how I did it. System had to be reinstalled and haven't been able to get this working ever since.
