Hardware Drivers tool shows me nothing. It only show the message No
proprietary drivers are in use on this system.. It looks like Mobility
Radeon X1600 isn't supported by the fglrx. This seems strange to me,
because fglrx used to support my graphics card on hardy.
I'll try on liveCD session
I've tried once again on a liveCD session. Now, the Hardware Drivers tool
detected my graphics card correctly and downloaded and installed fglrx, but
after restarting of X, it failed again. Manual modprobe failed as in my first
post.
I've provided the Xorg.0.log from the live session while
