On Gutsy tribe 1, enabling restricted drivers fails for ATI fglrx driver. Package is downloaded but the module never gets loaded. After 1 attempted, the driver shows up as not in use but cannot be enabled, clicking enable results in just a grayed out restricted drivers app that can only be closed and forgotten about.
Steps to reproduce: on ATI chipset that requires fglrx driver for 2/3D acceleration, system>
Hardware: HP dv5139us laptop
ATi x200m graphic chipset
Ubuntu 7.10 tribe 1
