Perhaps you should have added just a tad more horse-manure and just a

is temporarily disabled and it REFUSES to turn on and
stay on, thus no 3D. The ATI config. software under KDE seems

See above.

Sorry, Fred, one of those one just cannot resist......

But, you told him not buy anything with ATI in it...but he did...and,
the worse part is, you nevertheless accepted the job to install (I
assume) 11.2 on his 'puter with ATI-anything on it.... :-( .

down....the cpu usage goes up....the temperature of the CPU goes up.....
the 'puter will not last as long with all the extra heat being
generated.....the heat will burn his groin...and possibly blow his nuts
off if the battery overheats....)
