Bug Description
Tested the new fglrx 2:8.543-0ubuntu1 on Intrepid daily-live 10/15/2008. Module fglrx fails to load on a Radeon 9500pro.
Steps to reproduce:
- Boot with "text" kernel option (to avoid loading the possibly conflicting radeon module)
- Enable repositories, install xorg-driver-fglrx (no errors reported, dkms module installed)
- Try aticonfig --initial that segfaults:
aticonfig[
- Edit xorg.conf adding Driver "fglrx" under Device (the rest of the file is unmodified)
- Try modprobe fglrx that fails:
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/
X does not start either complaining that there is no matching Device section for my card, but that's a different bug (it looks like an explicit BusID is now required by fglrx).

I can confirm that, as I am affected by the exact same issue. I'm also using a board with an R300 chipset.
