    I'm trying to get my 7970m working in BackTrack 5 R2. Anyone have useful links or advice for me? I'm reading a lot of conflicting information and it's difficult to sort through it for up-to-date relevance...

    Backtrack works fine here with 7970 and I did not install any driver. Of course using boot able USB flash :)
