This lappy is equipped with Radeon Xpress 200M. Would I gain anything y installing a legacy driver. I have only a little flicker issue when moving the pages up and down. If it ain't broken, how much better would it be?

yep a couple more options for resolution and the flicker will go away ( at least it did on mine ). Opening / closing / running / moving applications will all be more smooth and less blocky. I have the desktop version of the chip though (Radeon Xpress 200), originally grabbed the driver from support.amd.com

linktext was:"link"
====================================


steps to get to link
support.amd.com
right side support and drivers
right side download drivers section
selected motherboard/chipset
selected raedon express
selected Xpress 200

Just wanted to say (even though the post is 4 years old) that ATI doesn't have linux drivers on that page for Xpress 200M. Xpress 200 though, but that's probably incompatible (I didn't get them to work).

So your answer was moot.
