(Back when I used Ubuntu, I could never get the driver working, either... it always used the generic Vesa driver...)
I've installed the ATI Catalyst driver (the Catalyst driver is the one I use on Windows, which does get great gaming graphics,) but it says that "ATI is installed but the driver is not working." I've tried the troubleshooting, but that doesn't change anything. I've tried the fglrx driver, the ATI driver, and pretty much any other driver I thought might have a chance of doing something useful. None of them do anything. I'm not really doing any gaming on Puppy Linux (I always have to reboot to Windows for that,) but it would be nice to be able to run Google Earth without it lagging like crazy. (Also, it says that it might make the desktop a bit more snappy, which is always nice.)
