Public bug reported:

Please update ATI proprietary drivers to 9.8 on Jaunty (at least).

Problem:
 * At least Kubuntu with ATI graphics card suffers from a great deal of 
problems. The desktop performance is terrible at best on most configurations 
with ATI. And the opensource drivers are no use either.
 * Kubuntu Jaunty dual screen configuration requires an experienced rocket 
scientist
 * Current drivers (fgrlx) crash on video playback for example

Solution:
 * Update ATI proprietary drivers to 9.8

Pros:
 * People after installing Kubuntu and getting the propriety drivers with 
Jockey could actually get a working system!
 * "Ubuntu 9.04 production support" is one of the new things in 9.8
 * ATI Catalystâ„¢ Control Center - Linux Edition now supports XRANDR 1.2 and 
dual screen configuring
 * Everything would work (at least for the newer ATI cards, but the older ones 
didn't work anyway)
