I recently downloaded and burned the Gutsy final DVD for my girlfriend and, while testing that it was working OK, I still didn't have any acceleration available. However, I must admit I didn't do any kind of checks whether it was the same issue. I don't currently have that DVD, but I plan on downloading the live CD of gutsy final. I will keep you informed
Another good point of my girlfriend wanting to test ubuntu is that she has an ATi 7500 VE (or something like that), so I will be able to report if this issue also appears on her computer.
As a sidenote, the 6.8 branch of the radeon driver now correctly sets my resolution.
