Public bug reported:
The ati fglrx drivers do not work on my ibm thinkpad T42.
The display chip is an ATI mobility Radeon 9600 which is in the supported list
of gpu's for this driver.
I tried this on both 8.10 and 9.04beta.
On the 8.10 system, the driver ices when it is loaded and i get into the
"having trouble loading the graphics" set of dialogs. However, I am able to run
things in degraded graphics mode.
On the 9.04 beta system, the the display is just messed up and I am hosed.
I currently have the 8.10 system installed, so that will be the easiest
one to reload the drivers to get you the info you may need. But i could
reload the beta if that is more interesting to you.
In both systems, everything worked fine before i loaded the fglrx
drivers. These drivers do work fine on my T60 for 8.10. I have no plans
to put the beta on that machine.
