As I said, this is NOT fixed.
The use of fglrx is still necessary for R800+ ATI card and for nearly all laptops powered by ATI because of no power management with the free driver.
This bug was filed against fglrx-installer so, please, stop saying that this is fixed.
For those who know some ATI guys, are they going to work on this issue?
This bug is nearly 1 year old so I'm confident that the answer is "no".
As this is an important desktop usability issue, is there a possibility to include a xserver from one of the 2 ppa in, at least, the universe repository? Just name it xserver-fglrx-fix and add it as a dependence to the fglrx-installer.
It seems a good solution to me because here we do not patch the default xserver (the one that is shipped by default) so no need to worry about regressions for other users, only fglrx users will install it.
Those packages had enough testing and both seem to be equivalent.
For the memory lick, I never noticed it (using k0ekk0ek's ppa for more than 6 months) so this is a "small" lick that may not be noticed by most of users I think. And I'm sure that the benefit of a fluid user experience is worth the trouble.
