I have a PC that I will be installing the 64 Bit version of Kubuntu. It has a ATI X1550 VC will this be a problem or do I need to get a Nvidia card?

Re: New guy with ATI Video ?
The ATI graphics card is no problem at all; (K)Ubuntu automatically comes with a graphics driver compatible with both ATI and Nvidia cards. However, once installed, you will probably want to install the specific driver for your card. An application called Envy can download and install it for you. Its URL is below, never mind the reference to nvidia:
