Okay, so I have gone through and got xorg-server installed and my xorg.conf
works with the standard vesa driver (some success)

I tried casting xf86-video-ati, which cast fine but X tells me No 
Devices detected
when using ati in config file :(

So my query is two fold:

1. Is there some trick to getting the driver I have installed working?
2. If I install the new one mentioned below, do we just use the "run" 
file (just curious where it will install all the files)

Thanks
Craig
