I think this was a figure of speech Frank, and I dare say I am not the brightest of people.
Yes, ATI cards suck as far as Linux goes. If you REALLY want to try, though,
As much as this might be true, I have not much of a choice because the laptop in question is one that was handed to me from my workplace and all I want is some 3d so I can do my work and enjoy it whilst I'm at it, thanks for the advice, I will try the Radeon drivers, although I would like to know, which ones you recommend for my particular chipset?

I had the proprietary driver running in Fedora once, but I got rid of it for a number of good reasons, probably the most obvious of which is that my card is no longer supported, so I have to use the radeon driver. Yes, ATI cards suck as far as Linux goes. If you REALLY want to try, though, I suggest using Livna and installing the RPM's for the proprietary drivers. I can't help you any more than that, though, because as I said, I don't use it anymore. Oh, BTW, you can get 3D from the radeon driver (in fact, I'd say the radeon driver gives better 3D than the proprietary driver on most ATI cards, considering I can run AIGLX on radeon and not on fglrx); you just don't get direct rendering. But if you're using AIGLX, you don't get direct rendering anyway, and really it doesn't improve performance much. If you want a BAD card, try the SiS in my laptop. No DRI at all, so 3D is a dream.
