No, Not fixed yet. However, does the fact that the free driver works
in Lucid provide hope that the fglrx driver (the next version
available for lucid) will also be improved ?

To be honest, with people passing patches to the x-server around, it
doesn't give me confidence that it is 100% clear where the problem
exists. In the graphics driver, or in the x-server ? Or both ?
Or can someone enlighten me?

Did the free driver provided with Karmic provide good fast 3D without
problems (except for the missing power management) ?
If not, then already I would assume there is hope to think there might
have been a general fix, since it works perfectly with lucid?

Like all of us ATI users without development know-how (in terms of
low-level drivers and the x-server), all I can do is wait in hope. And
thank those involved for their hard work. It is already amazing what
they have done.
