Yeah, if you already have feisty and the newest update fixes your Xorg problems (ie. X starts even without the workarounds), that's enough of a information too. It'd be most interesting to know if there is more than "one" person that used to have his/her (Mobility or not) X700 working in either Ubuntu 6.10 or Feisty before the newest upgrade, but now it is broken since the last update (or when using the newest daily).
There is this one bug report now of a HP nw8240 with ATI FireGL V5000 (X700) user whose previously working configuration broke after this newest update: bug 90571. Not entirely surprising, considering X.org developers say this update is a workaround/hack and not a real solution, but if it really fixes things for significantly more people than it breaks things for, I think the patch should be kept until a real solution is found. Disclaimer: I'm just interested in these bugs, having ATI X800 myself for which I've been debugging things so that it finally works with 2D&3D out-of-the-box in feisty, I'm not an Ubuntu developer as such or deciding anything :) -- [x700] fails to infer lvds for primary connector on acer ferrari 4005 | card detected, but driver fails to use right output port https://launchpad.net/bugs/22985 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
