guts say this is more down in the X stack ... didnt find fglrx driver package :( moving to -ati.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

The fglrx source package is fglrx-installer. Launchpad's package search field (Choose...) would show this. (The open source -ati driver is xserver-xorg-video-ati and not -driver- any longer.)

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

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:
