Best opensource driver for ati.

[blackbird307]

I am currently using a 5770, but the problem is the drivers ati provided aren't really good. Does anyone know of open source drivers?

Also im fairly new to linux/ubuntu.

If you install the driver recommend by Ubuntu in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, you going well.

The open source drivers are installed by default if you don't install the ATI-specific restricted drivers.

If you want to remove the ATI drivers, use the instructions in the link below:

Do not bother with the xorg.conf stuff. Just reboot after driver removal and Ubuntu should automatically install the open source drivers for you.

However, you will get only basic functions with these drivers. No CCC will be provided.
