. . . but does it work correctly? As next I tried the "proprietary-driver" from AMD's web-site(latest version: Nov.4 2009):
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.5&lang=English "sh ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic" compiles fglrx-installer_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.changes fglrx-modaliases_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb xorg-driver-fglrx_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libamdxvba1_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb xorg-driver-fglrx-dev_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb If "Pulse-Audio"-sound is installed correctly and chosen as primary-HDMI-sound-device(system-settings -> Multimedia), Kaffeine is able to display fluent DVB-S2-video(Eins Festival HD 1280x720) with at most times fully stopped HDMI-sound-stream(sound is NOT! muted via pulse-audio-mixer), but system is not locked by this anymore since CPU-load is "only" 70% in average now!!! So using "Pulse-Audio" boosts system-performance, although there is no sound for my HD-TV yet, when watching DVB-S2.
