Yes, drivers are very different. And cards and support, too. I know.
I had radeons cards, but recently i give up. I had constant problems! A
cheap card for nVidia works so much better then an expensive Radeon...
it makes me mad for the money and time i wasted on that! :evil: 

But config (XF86Config-4 or xorg) file are more or less the same...
thats why I ask. I can make it work with Ubuntu Universe' 6611 and with
nvidia's drivers 6629, but if I tried daniels 6629 I've got a  "GLX"
missing on display:0.0" error, either with warty/xfree86 and with
hoary/xorg. I just wandering what you do to solve that problem...
assuming that you change the configuration file and not the drivers
(that are closed).

I ended stick to nvidia drivers since it's very simple (just one
command line) to install... (you right, ATI sucks... and worst they
seems to think that Linux is just redhat... they just had a rpm
version!!! #-o )

thanks anyway.
