I installed the recommended ATI video driver and would get a watermark
"hardware not supported". Despite everything working (compiz) you can
imagine i was not really happy. In an attempt to have the watermark
removed i followed instructions to install the newest ATI driver
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI), that did
solve the watermark problem, however left me with the problem that is
mentioned here. So, not easily discouraged, found some remark about
replacing the file 'control'. With that change it seems to run smoothly
now, try at your own risk:
1. installed proprietary driver from System -> Administration ->
Harware driver
this will get me the 'unsupported hardware' watermark
2. downloaded newest driver from ATI (www.ati.com) and extract deb files
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-2-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg
Ubuntu/karmic
3. took the file 'control' from it with is somewhere in subarchives
'xorg-driver-fglrx_*.deb/../etc/ati/'
4. used it to replace the file in /etc/ati/ (backup the original if you
like)
5. reboot
ununtu 9.10 64 bit, ati hd5770
