It seems the ATI proprietary linux drivers do not work on recent slack.
I tried them since slack 11.0 and never worked, even now on slack12.

You don't need the taintware with this.

taintware? meaning?

The proprietary drivers. (Specifically, proprietary kernel modules, but never
mind that...)

Use the open-source drivers instead. You may also need to use driconf to
switch on "disable low-impact fallbacks" (there are one or two 3D things
which aren't accelerated and are *slow* unless you do this).
