OSS driver does not work on UNE Live CD with my ATI card at all

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I am booted an I can read this as I type. The address bar I can't read. The launch bar is blobs. The FF menus can't be read.

Basically I can read this page.

Terminal was not readable. Had command set on another install and copied it from gedit. Could not read test on gedit but knes what it was so used it. Could not read it in terminal but hit enter. It worked.

Installed this yesterday expecting xorg.edgers drivers would work. They did not. Nothing but white screen there with any driver.

Fglrx does not support my card well so didn't bother with it.
