Hi Bob, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid. If it remains an issue,

it seems we are left in the cold with this one :( the 'official' driver says our cards are legacy (mine is 2 years old actually, and it was the top of the line ATI laptop video card at that time), while they are 'too new' for the open source driver to handle it properly. this is a major setback f

Can confirm neither ATI driver from website version 9.3 (won't load) nor version 9.4 (breaks system) works. Likewise fglrx won't run my ATI Raedon X300 - breaks system causing display to become unreadable. Need to restore using recovery mode command line "apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx"

interesting. I also did a re-install of linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic, but when I open the Hardware Drivers window, it says there are no proprietary drivers in use on this system, so I can't install the fglrx driver through this window. installing xorg-driver-fgrlx manually basically breaks X --

I'm currently running with the fglrx driver! I needed to: * Update the linux kernel to 2.6.28-12-generic (just out today) * Install the hardware driver, as before * reboot into safe mode * copy /etc/ati/control.dpkg-bak to /etc/ati/control * copy /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default.dpkg-bak to /etc/ati/amd

Same issues here. I have an ATI 4850 - for which support has not yet been dropped as it is a new card. Was working perfectly in 8.10. The upgrade to 9.04 resulted in graphical corruption on the screen and a system hang when starting X. Removing the driver allows boot into non- accelerated GUI. Sele

I found that the problem is ATI, not Ubuntu. Support for quite a number of cards was dropped as of Catalyst 9.4. Catalyst 9.3, however, does not support X Server 1.6 which is included in Ubuntu 9.04. Ironically support for X Server 1.6 was introduced in Catalyst 9.4. Please, let ATI know what you t

The fix posted above did not resolve this. My system still fails to boot if FGLRX is installed under 9.04. I have to remove the driver in recovery mode in order to boot. This isn't an isolated thing and is likely not due upgrade corruption. It specifically effects people using fglrx. http://ubun
