Gentlemen; please. This is a minor disagreement that is distracting from
the main issue. We know that AMD have not yet released drivers for a set
of older cards that work with Quantal (or more specifically, xserver

Sorry for the mix-up. The problem sounded identical to mine, and I was

Well, that is interesting on several fronts. The new driver does what I

@John Winterton - You are half right. CPU overhead is higher with the

It would appear that the need for a proprietary Radeon driver is moot.
My system performs well without fglrx.

fglrx will not load at all on my AMD/ATI RS780 chip set (on my mobo).
Doesn't seem to make much difference, as my system runs just fine in DVI
