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) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Please update ATI proprietary drivers to 9.8 on Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415011 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
