I am using a ATI Radeon™ 9700 PRO (Desktop) card.

Migrated from Windows XP to Xubuntu 8.10 (so fresh install).

First used the xserver-xorg-video drivers, which worked ok. But I need the proprietary drivers for some games (under Wine) so I removed the xserver-xorg-video drivers and then installed the fglrx drivers. First tried the fglrx drivers in the repositories, then the 8.12 version on the ati.amd website (using the install method given on their website).

Both didn't work (system returns to the low graphics setting). When entering "aticonfig --initial -f" in a Terminal I get a segmentation fault. Editing the xorg config file manually results in nothing as well (system returns to the low graphics setting).

Will install the xserver-xorg drivers for now, but I really hope ati-amd will solve this issue soon.
