<simplesect><title>AMD Graphics Cards</title>
<para>AMD provides a proprietary driver for its graphics cards that
has better 3D performance than the X.org drivers. It is not enabled
by default because it’s not free software. You can enable it as follows:
<programlisting>
services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "ati_unfree" ];
</programlisting>
You will need to reboot after enabling this driver to prevent a clash
with other kernel modules.</para>
<para>On 64-bit systems, if you want full acceleration for 32-bit
programs such as Wine, you should also set the following:
<programlisting>
hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit = true;
</programlisting>
</para>
