Patrick: interesting. When did you updgrade? The upgrade tool definitely didn't revert me to the radeon driver. I upgraded from 8.10 this Saturday 18. Or maybe different hardware gets treated differently? (xome cards may be blacklisted, etc)

Lukáš: I had fglrx installed in 8.10 (and working perfectly) and over the upgrade it was kept (or upgraded to a newer version, I am not sure about that). This is what broke _my installation. I also mentioned 9.4/8.602. That was a second attempt at getting fglrx running. Because I read @ Phoronix [1] that the latest release of glrx would support Ubuntu 9.04, I downloaded the installer from ATI's site. You can just install the binaries directly [2] or create and install .deb's with one simple command. Again, this failed miserably for me ;-)

Cheers,

[2] This is the wrong way to install, but I realized later on that you could create the .debs
