Philip: in other words, Kernel developers are basically saying that ATI
users should not in fact upgrade to Gutsy? I'm not sure that is very good
press for Ubuntu, considering the *large* amount of laptops out there that
have ATI chipsets...
It wouldn't be so bad if Gutsy didn't prompt users to install fglrx, which
then prevents use of Suspend/Resume.
This is disappointing, and hearing that kernel developers made that choice
so that things would be more convenient for *them* rather than us ATI users
is rather frustrating, to say the least. I at least hope they are
communicating with ATI to make sure the latter are working on a fix...
In the meantime, I suggest that *everyone* that is affected by this bug
register on the unofficial ATI bugzilla (linked above in this thread) and
vote for the bug. That looks like the best current way out of this mess.
