Philip: in other words, Kernel developers are basically saying that ATI users should not in fact upgrade to Gutsy? I'm not sure that is very good press for Ubuntu, considering the *large* amount of laptops out there that have ATI chipsets...
It wouldn't be so bad if Gutsy didn't prompt users to install fglrx, which then prevents use of Suspend/Resume. This is disappointing, and hearing that kernel developers made that choice so that things would be more convenient for *them* rather than us ATI users is rather frustrating, to say the least. I at least hope they are communicating with ATI to make sure the latter are working on a fix... In the meantime, I suggest that *everyone* that is affected by this bug register on the unofficial ATI bugzilla (linked above in this thread) and vote for the bug. That looks like the best current way out of this mess.
