I have an All In Wonder 9700 Pro. I like it in windows but because I could have been running good drivers all along in linux, I nearly regret going with ATI>

I have never had ATI Linux drivers working yet. What is my best chance ? Do you notice a snappier desktop in 2-d and GIMP, mplayer and all of that or is the improvement strictly based on 3-d and gaming?

Thanks,

B.

I have gotten them to work in Gentoo, Fedora and Ubuntu. I had least problems in making them work in Gentoo (emerge ati-drivers and kernel module is ready).
Improvement is strictly 3D. Unless you plan on using xgl and all the nice stuff (transparent windows, aimations etc.) which is still in heavy development phase.

However, I haven't finished my current Gentoo update with X.org 7.0, so I can't say if it will still work nicely. I plan on using r300 opensource driver anyway.

In any case, fglrx works OK with X.org 6.8.2.

There's an Unbutu or Gentoo (can't remember) all-in-one bundle out there which includes ATI and NVidia driver sets. Google it maybe? I read about it yesterday but can't seem to find the link.
