Following on from the reports that Catalyst 9.2 fixes the problems:
Unfortunately it does not fix the problem on my Dell Inspiron 9100. lspci
reports the graphics card as:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility
Radeon 9600 M10]
The laptop has a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10 from the alternative CD.
The Proposed packages have been installed, as described earlier in this bug
thread. uname -a reports:
Linux tux9100 2.6.27-12-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 5 09:26:35 UTC 2009 i686
GNU/Linux
The ATI Catalyst 9.2 Linux driver installer,
ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run, was downloaded from the ATI site. The
installer was run and the machine rebooted. I open the System ->
Administration -> Hardware Drivers window. The ATI drivers were shown to be
present but not enabled. At this point compiz.real failed and apport reported
a bug which has been filed as Bug #332644. I then tried to enable the ATI
driver. Apport then reported that:
package xorg-driver-fglrx 2:8.543-0ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade:
EOF on stdin at conffile prompt
and lead me back here as a likely previously reported bug.
Anyway, I wanted others to know that Catalyst 9.2 might not be the fix
they hoped. I realise that the Ubuntu maintainers can't do much about
this - but thanks for your efforts so far. Its an ATI problem.
Hopefully ATI read the thread and will try and get a fix, or open their
API.
