New discover-data recognizes M56GL [ATI Mobility FireGL V5200]
correctly, but as you know the free driver does not support it, so it
still uses vesa by default.
** Changed in: discover-data (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: discover1-data = discover-data
Status: Confirmed = Fix Released

same problem with ati chip 71d4 on my t60p
I put 71d4 on the pci database ( http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ ).
Juste update the pci database - sudo update-pciids
before:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 71d4
after:

Closed source fglrx is not installed automatically for any card
currently. The restricted modules are there, yes, but not the xorg-
driver-fglrx, and even installing xorg-driver-fglrx does not change
Xorg.conf to use fglrx instead of ati. The open source drivers work
for most cards, including X300
After googling I found out that it has a X1xxx/FireGLV5200-series (ie.
R500-class) card. Yes, no need to try, it just doesn't work.
There is actually a working 2D driver for these cards already written,
unfortunately ATI/AMD has not given the coder a permission to release it
(the coder is under
Well hang on, if you have proprietary modules (i.e. restricted) enabled,
it doesn't (T60p - marked as a dupe of this bug) detect the chipset and
install that driver, which it ought to (does with other chipset IDs).
That is a bug Ubuntu can fix. Getting ATI to release proprietary drivers
is (sadly)
oops - no less badly should read no less well :-)

Please check if the Xorg.0.log gives, in addition to ati blurb, finally
something like No Mach64 device detected (a bit longer line, though).
If there is such, just mark this as duplicate of bug #28925.

I'm travelling right now and not in a position to test it; If you remind
me in two weeks I might be able to do that. Sorry

I think this particular bug can be closed. We're just stuck with using
ATI's proprietary fglrx driver on laptops with recent ATI chipsets, as
supplied in Dapper by an appropriate linux-restricted-modules-* package,
along with xorg-driver-fglrx and fgrlx-control.
