Public bug reported: When installing ATI proprietary drivers using:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide my system immediately wants me to upgrade various packages for flgrx as well as load the dpatch package. So in and effort to make things simple I did the upgrade and everything seems to work well when I select the proprietary drivers from System Settings-Monitor&Display the drivers appear to load well. The glxgears reports an instability in the drivers by varying between 600FPS and 1000FPS even when there is no other input into the system. The drivers also loop when shutting down or restarting. I've contacted AMD/ATI about this issue with the 8.34.8 drivers. I have to physically hit the power switch to restart if these drivers are loaded. I'm back to running the DRI ATI drivers for now. Would be very thankful if you get the ATI drivers working for everyone with a laptop and the 200M Xpress chipset from the repositories.
