Yup the 8.11 drivers are a failure for me as well - I have done some forum searching and others may find this interesting even if it wasn't the solution I wanted:
Some people have suggested they needed to delete the /usr/ati file before installing to get it to work. You may need to run the /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh file before installation (I needed this to get my open drivers working again although I can't imagine why). This part I truly don't understand - I have found out for certain that the screen not turning off is due to the open ati drivers as when I use the vesa drivers it works just fine. V strange. I am a little let down by this however as I said before the open drivers are quite competent with Kwin & Plasma's shiny spangly loveliness but I wouldn't mind a working version of the fglrx drivers to compare just in case the shiny spangly loveliness is even better. -- r3xx Hardware does not work with fglrx [EPR#257839] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
