So Ive decided to give Ubuntu a shot after many years of being abused by a Window.. Although it looks good so far Ive yet not managed to install drivers for my HD5850.
Whats really stopping my is that I'm reading the instructions and I came across a little "must have" list, here is how it goes..
The following packages must be installed in order for the ATI CatalystTM Linux driver to
install and work properly:
XFree86-Mesa-libGL
libstdc++
libgcc
XFree86-libs
fontconfig
freetype
zlib
gcc
Now my question is, how can I reach them? Ive already got the latest ATI Driver and I believe I know how to install it but I dont want to until Ive found a soltion for this little "problem".
All suggestion are welcome!

Within a minute after posting this, I decided to check out what Ubuntu Software Center had to say about these programs, Ive got all installed except "xfree86-libs".
