Recently I tried installing Arch on a machine with an ATI Radeon HD5450 graphics card. This has two monitors plugged in (can take three) and I was trying to get it to work. Tried Catalyst and the open source driver, but somewhere along the way I screwed up. Now I'd like to try again, with a better understanding of certain details, except now this particular machine has a different non-Arch distro (i feel so dirty!) For the time being, I don't want to mess around with this installation, and it has the whole disk, all partitions.
Is there some clever way to try the current ATI drivers (open and prop.) from the Arch repos, running in Arch, without using the hard disk? Something like a live CD that allows installing the ATI stuff... ?
If I can get the two monitors to work as one large desktop, cool, I will in a couple weeks blow away the other distro and install Arch for real.
