This is because the fglrx kernel components need to be compiled for Hardy's kernel. We're dependent on AMD/ATI to provide kernel modules built for our kernel. Unfortunately, this makes DRI (and everything dependent on it) not work, so is a critical issue.

To fix this, we need AMD/ATI to either open source their kernel component so it can be handled normally, or adopt a process where they can provide new builds of their kernel module much more quickly after the Ubuntu kernel changes.

I can confirm that DRI is not working on my desktops system with a Radeon 9600XT

But fglrx works absolutely fine (including Compiz) on my T42 that has a Radeon Mobility 9600 (xorg.conf attached)
Both systems featuring an up-to-date Hardy with the 2.6.24-10-generic kernel.
So it's obviously not a general issue.

To top it all off, it's kind of vice versa with the radeon driver (see Bug #195051)

No such luck for X800XT-PE owners:

Xorg.0.log:

(EE) fglrx(0): [pcie] Failed to gather memory of size 262144Kb for PCIe. Error (-1014)

dmesg:

[fglrx:firegl_init_pcie] *ERROR* Only power-of-two ring buffer size is supported for PCIe

Note that the card is an AGP card and detected as such:

[fglrx] AGP detected, AgpState = 0x1f000a1b (hardware caps of chipset)

The "Failed to initialize CMMQS driver" issue has however been solved.

Back to 7.11 for me .....

if this isn't resolved yet, it will have to be deferred until 8.04 rc, beta is closed.

Closing as fixed since 8.3 is now in Hardy.
