Public bug reported:
On a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop, ATI mobility radeon X300, Ubuntu 7.04
BETA 1
When installing the Restricted drivers for ATI mobility radeon x300 with
the tool included in linux ubuntu, the computer reboot with the new
driver but can't return on the previous state with the open driver when
the restricted driver is uninstalled through the tool included in linux
ubuntu.
The screen still keep the resolution of the restricted driver after a
reboot and can't use composite options like the restricted driver.
The steps to reproduce the bug is :
Click on System \ Administration \ Restricted Drivers Manager
Install the restricted drivers for the ATI card
Reboot Linux Ubuntu
Click on System \ Administration \ Restricted Drivers Manager
Uninstall the restricted drivers for the ATI card
Reboot Linux Ubuntu
And the restricted driver will still remain the one apparently used by
linux to provide graphical interface, same if the Restricted Drivers
Manager say that it is disabled.
