Thank you for reporting this bug about fglrx, however the video card mentioned in this bug report is no longer supported in fglrx. ATI only supports R600 and newer chips. You'll want to focus on using the -ati driver instead for this hardware.

I have no idea of what you are talking about. Not everyone who is
trying Ubuntu is "computer literate", much less "Ubuntu literate".
Are you suggesting that the "illiterate" forget about Ubuntu and
stay with Microsoft Windows (where things work with older hardware)?

Thank you
Bob C.
