Re: ATI HD5770 Problem

The reason why I didn't wanted to install the proprietary driver is because I was using the opensource one with my old graphic card and I was very satisfied with it... but since the series HD5XXX is not supported I've decided to install the proprietary and thank you for sharing your opinion about the catalyst driver And yes its working smoothly

Thank you once again
