Alberto Milone, thank you for addressing this bug report. I agree that due to licensing restrictions, the Ubuntu project is legally forced to not fix AMD's driver for them. As well, from my terse interactions with their customer service department, they are not concerned with their customer's products being broken at a driver level, unless it's new products. However, should we let this cause angst among the Ubuntu Community to see if we may WORKAROUND their bug in a license permissive way, on an an-hoc, special exception basis?
Granted this is wishful thinking, and more than easier said then done. However, if someone comes up with something, it would be cool. if not, thanks for checking in anyways, and trying to take care of us. :)
