RE: HL2 vs ATI cards

I own a laptop with ATi Mobility HD 2400 XT videocard and experience the same problem. There's Debian Lenny installed with default distribution fglrx-driver compiled version 8.4-some.
A few days later I'm going to try installing Catalyst 8.5.
The game (TF2 at least) runs perfectly on an Nvidia card in Debian Etch with wine 0.9.59 on my desktop. Even got the mic working with no hassle at all.
