I used to do regular updates of the closed source ATI kernel - but the 
newer OSS drivers work well enough for my uses, so I use those now.  I 
just did a kernel update on my HP system (which has an nVidia card in it) 
and it went completely smoothly.  I don't believe there was a new binary 
driver update for it as well.
