CentOS - Jan 2012 - A little confused with video drivers

Hello,

I have an HP Pavilion g series laptop with an ATI vision A6 video
chipset. I tried elrepos ati driver but found that the laptop would
freeze intermittently and frequently.  So I unloaded that driver and am
running with nomodeset argument just to get a desktop.

I went to the ATI site but am not sure what to try. Would anyone know
which driver I could use that would work?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

The drivers you installed from ELRepo are exactly the same ones that are
available from the AMD/ATI site, just repackaged for easy installation.
If the ELRepo drivers don't work, the same drivers directly from AMD
won't work either.
