Whoever queued this bug to fglrx, please read the description again. This is not a bug in fglrx, it actually says that fglrx is the only driver that works for this user.

Exceclly it's the xorg/xserver that don't work for me right of the back of a new installtion so to speak.

Let me explaine in again:
When i install ubuntu 11.04 via wubi i first need to log in to ubuntu classic with no effects in order to install the fglex driver because without it i can't log in to ubuntu or ubuntu classic with effects propiles.

Hey aviramof,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.
