    just google "ATI Catalyst Mobility 11.10" and download and install (its like 97.5 MB or something). The dell version of the drivers suck anyway. Dont mess with 11.11 yet, something fishy is going on with it right now.

    Dell's drivers site has been down all weekend. They seem to be doing some kind of maintenance but to be down now for over 36 hours is just comical.

    11.11 does yes, but 11.10 seems pretty darn good to me so long as you arent playing "Rage" all that much.
