Sorry to be dense on this but
1) would I find those drivers on the AMD or ATI websites or in a Debian 
repository, and
2) then having found them how does one install a driver in a Debian 
system (Mepis) and then point the system to use it rather than what's 
there now?
3) and if these are dumb questions I apologize in advance.
Thanks
Stan Fisher
