X1950GT is ATI RADEON card and yes I use the proprietary driver with latest version of Ubuntu, everything is up to date with me. Never old kernel, drivers and stuff and still WoW is better on windows.
For the people playing with old versions of some distros, I must say always upgade to latest version.
Ubuntu 8.10 introduced new kernel 2.6.27 and wireless with that kernel is times better then old ones. Also support in kernel for webcams and many other things is improved.
