Hi,
I've upgrade to Jaunty my HP EliteBook 8530p with an ATI HD3650 and there is no way to use the fglrx driver provided by Catalyst 9.4 **AND** 9.5.
I've already fired the following bugs to ATI:

http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1550
http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1568

now with the 9.5 I can grab the kernel message and I can safely reboot the machine. See the dmesg attached for the kernel messages.

I've tryed with the following kernel:
2.6.28-11 and -12 from Jaunty
2.6.27-11 from Hardy

same result.

Since with 8.10 the flgrx worked like a charm and was very stable (with Kernel 2.6.27-11), I suppose that the main problem is the incompatibility with Xorg 1.6.

It should be nice to have a backport of Xorg 1.5.x to Jaunty :-)

I've already tryed to install a recompiled Xorg 1.5 from http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3942 but it did not worked.

Now I'm using the radeonhd driver (version 1.2.5 from PPA and latest DRM from git) but it is missing 3D acceleration.

The support from ATI is not so responsive.
