i am sorry about it , when i choose " not use ATI accelerated graphics driver" in "System -> Administratin->Hardware driver". every thing is ok. so i think maybe the ATI driver effect the hdaps-gl.

Hi xinchen97,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

I've posted a new version of the -fglrx driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get fglrx 8.620 here:
