I have used nVidia cards for years while having a friend who kept
telling me ATi cards were ¨better¨.  When I saw the Radeon HD5770 at a
very good price I succumbed and bought one.  Yes it IS fine for Windows
but I have lost my 3D, xinerama and other desktop effects and can only
run using my 1280 x 1024 LCD, whereas in Widows (and linux when I had an
nVidia card, I used a 1680x1250 and the 1280x1024 side by side.  I am
about to retire and would like to cut down on the cost of computing by
moving over to linux full time instead of side-by-side with Windows.

I will NEVER buy another ATi card and am seriously thinking about
switching away from AMD, which I have used since the year dot.  I think
I will give the ATi card to my son who won;t use linux (lol), re-install
my nVidia card and lose a few FPS in X-plane.

I know this is not a technical post but I am so ANGRY!

Apologies, guys!
