Public bug reported:
I have an ATI Mobility X700, which works fine (in both 2D and 3D mode)
with the free 'radeon' driver (I used it in gutsy, and it worked before
I did a reinstall). But for some reason, gnome-appearance-properties
wants to force me to install the non-free fglrx driver.
This is not desirable for several reasons: I'd like my machine to use as
much free software as possible, and fglrx tends to be a bit less stable
(in my experience).
So please, could you re-enable the "desktop effects" button(s) for my
video card _without_ it requiring fglrx?
