Ok, was able to fix it. I believe what Martin wrote a couple of posts above is correct, but only for cards that are no longer supported. To find out if your card is supported, go to the ATI site (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html) and try to find a driver for your card. If the driver offered is the 9.4 version, then the proprietary driver should work for your card.
However, after upgrading to Jaunty I was experiencing the same problem described in this issue. To cut a long story short, it turns out that my xorg.conf (working fine with the proprietary driver on Intrepid) was no good for this new version. Everything works ok now, after regenerating xorg.conf with the command below, and rebooting. /usr/bin/aticonfig -initial -- [ATI driver specific] Ubuntu Jaunty hangs after usplash with fglrx 8.600 or 8.6002 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346028 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
