I need to note that this was an upgrade from Intrepid. I also upgraded early last time (8.04->8.10 around the time of alpha 5) and had an even longer list of troubles with the ATI card. I will try using a blank Xorg.conf as suggested above by Dimitrios and report back.

On this particular laptop, I have had to use the fglrx driver before. Has xserver-xorg-ati acquired support for "newer" ATI GPUS? When I filed the bug report, it was more "for the record" than in expectation of an immediate fix - I am aware that the current release of that nasty binary driver does not work with Xserver 1.6 .

My system is up to date as at the time of writing this (19 Feb, 04:00 GMT).

Thanks.
