Hi,

I just installed a Sapphire Radeon 4770 card and then installed F11  
and updated it. The glxgears rate reported is 200 fps, compared to  
about 5500 using the previous X1600 card with the ATI proprietary  
driver. Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows the device detected as  
vesa. How would I override this? and with what, radeon?

like this:

(==) --- Start of built-in configuration ---
         Section "Device"
                 Identifier      "Builtin Default ati Device 0"
                 Driver  "ati"
         EndSection
         Section "Screen"
                 Identifier      "Builtin Default ati Screen 0"
                 Device  "Builtin Default ati Device 0"
         EndSection
         Section "Device"
                 Identifier      "Builtin Default vesa Device 0"
                 Driver  "vesa"

When addiction becomes commonplace in a society, people become  
addicted not only to alcohol and drugs, but to a thousand other  
destructive pursuits: money, power, dysfunctional relationships, or  
video games. A social perspective on addiction does not deny  
individual differences in vulnerability to addiction, but it removes  
them from the foreground of attention, because social determinants are  
more powerful.
