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:

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

AMD Catalyst control centre still does not start with following error:

$ sudo amdcccle
Parse error on line 27 of section Module in file xorg.conf
        "Disable" is not a valid keyword in this section.
Parse error on line 27 of section Module in file xorg.conf
        "Disable" is not a valid keyword in this section.

However, it does not crash. The offending part of xorg.conf is

Section "Module"
        Load "glx"
        Disable "dri2"
EndSection

After commenting out offending line Disable "dri2", amdcccle starts without problem.

Tested on updated Kubuntu 9.10, fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.660-0ubuntu4
