A newly built CentOS 7.1 system, with an ATI/AMD video card. I installed the proprietary driver (this is a Dell, and they had their own rpm), and after I ran aticonfig --initial, init 3, then init 5, and we have a working video.
Excerpt the fonts are atrocious. All the letters seem to be missing pixels, so it's as though there's no across, almost.
He's running gnome. There has to be a quick fix - a link would be great.
Thanks in advance.

How did it look BEFORE you installed the proprietary driver?

Any particular reason to have proprietary video driver? I have Dell Optiplex-es with most generic of ATI cards; latest CentOS 7 "automagically" handles two screens (even combination of screens of different resolution) attached to this ATI card out of the box. Just curious.
