Features

Graphical Configuration Tool

Some Thinkpad T60s laptops ship with ATI video cards. Previously Ubuntu 7.04 Open Source video drivers could be graphically configured with a minimal utility that allowed to choose a single resolution. However, users could be compelled to use the non-free ATI video driver (Fglrx) because ATI shipped a more featureful utility, Catalyst Control Center. Gusty Gibbon now ships a more fully-featured utility, making the Open Source video drivers a more attractive choice.
