I use an ATI 9700 Pro in my desktop machine. I get no lock-ups with the recent kernels, except when I try to switch users. Since my wife and I share the computer, I need to be able to switch users. I would also like to have hardware acceleration so I can play around with Google Earth, Xgl and other things, but the free drivers do not support accelerated video on the R300 chipset-based cards.
I really would like this to work...not sure if it is an ATI issue or an Ubuntu issue, but probably it is something with the closed drivers.
