@madbiologist: Honestly I had not tried using any 3D accelerated games
with the default Open-Source Radeon driver because I assumed it would
not work. But I just now tried extreme tux racer and it worked just
fine. I guess the open-source 3D graphics driver architecture has
advanced by leaps and
@Montblanc: I think that's what happened to me. I didn't check the
debugging output so I wasn't aware of any segmentation fault but I know
that I was booting by default into a black screen, and I had to but into
one of the back-up kernels that grub keeps handy and run ppa-purge.

@jfernyhough : I'm glad that there at least is a PPA to fix it.
For me and everyone else with a legacy radeon card, the loss of fglrx is
much, much, much worse than not having whatever little subtle
improvements that there were from 1.12 to 1.13. Until AMD updates its
driver, I would say that the
Eh... That is, I would say it was the best solution, if it actually
worked... It broke my system and I had to run ppa-purge on it. I might
try it again in a week or 2, see if it can get the kinks worked out.

Importance is still Undecided?! This is highly important for anyone who
has a legacy ATI chip (that is, a lot of people). If ATI won't fix this,
then a PPA ought to be set up to allow the Xserver to be safely
downgraded to one compatible with the legacy driver.

I have not tried to downgrade to the older xserver. I don't even know
the name of the PPA you would use to do that. I hope there is one,
because if AMD doesn't update the legacy driver soon I'm going to want
to do the workaround. Sure the FOSS driver plays videos and runs my
display at full res,
@Dirk Heinricks: Buying intel because they have the best open-source
driver support would be a good idea... if Intel cards weren't so darn
wimpy :-(
I don't really understand why AMD and Nvidia keep releasing their
drivers as proprietary anyway, it's not as though doing it that way lets
