drivers seem to slow the desktop performance of the machine. The
glxgears rate of the fglrx driver (set with the ati-fglrx-config-display
tool) is only 1500 fps compared to 1833 fps with the stock xorg radeon
driver. Beyond that the fglrx driver seems to make the machine much
less responsive (windows open slower, etc). Reverting back to the
radeon drivers was much more usable. Also ... <snipping more problems with the fglrx driver>

Jack, I thank you very much for this warning. Hopefully they get fixed soon.
On the other hand, not installing, means no 3D games, modellers etc. Well maybe enabling and disabling manually will work properly.

Anyway, thank you for the warning.

Guus.
