Hi Jeff, sorry to hear you had such troubles. Unfortunately this bug
report as written is non-actionable. Here's a few tips for improving
your bug report:
1. Attach log files. Without log files developers cannot diagnose the
problem. Generally, running 'apport-collect 823588' should attach the
required files.
2. When writing a bug report description, try to think of it more like
a high school lab or a police report - state the facts clearly and
describe the situation completely. Don't describe things as "random" or
"unusable" or "broken" - those terms are so broad they actually tell us
very little, instead try to characterize the behavior as if you were
studying the problem scientifically.
3. Avoid assuming that a bug you see on your system is seen by everyone
on all systems; while some X bugs are widespread, the majority tend to
be somewhat hardware-specific or even specific to some configuration
that you've done. Indeed, there are relatively few bug reports about
-fglrx open right now. Instead, try to think about what might make
*your* system different than other people's - it can give strong clues
as to what went wrong.
4. You've mentioned Alpha 3 specifically, which makes me wonder if you
had successfully used fglrx on oneiric previously. If you have, and
know a bug is a regression from an earlier point in time, it is very
valuable to mention this; often in those situations we can look at what
got upgraded when as a clue to finding the bug.
Hope this all helps, and good luck improving your bug report.
