OK took the plunge
1) It has replaced the XFree open source driver with the ati proprietary one
but
2) The quality of my sound has improved as a result?????????
and
3) It still doesn't work - although the reason my be easier to track down
I now have no /dev/dri/card0 device.
This seemed to have been created automatically before - this time its not
there (although the directory is).
4) one extra piece of information
(II) fglrx(0): Primary head:
Monitor -- NONE
Connector -- DVI-I
DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
TMDS Type -- Internal
DDC Type -- DVI_DDC
(II) fglrx(0): Secondary head:
Monitor -- CRT
Connector -- VGA
DAC Type -- Primary
TMDS Type -- NONE
DDC Type -- VGA_DDC
Notice how the primary head is the DVI connector - which I don't have, so am
connected to the Secondary Head. Does this matter? (I have a DVI to VGA
converter plug so I could switch over)
