Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
The package description says:
Description: Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators
Video driver for the ATI Radeon and FireGL graphics accelerators.
.
This version of the ATI driver officially supports:
* ATI Radeon 8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9250 (R2xx)
BUT at least 8500, 9000, 9100, ... are no longer supported by this
driver.
I consider this a dangerous bug, due to this wrong information an
installation of this packet may result in a non working X. Due to the
fact that it is very likely that this will happen in most cases to
novice GNU/Linux users I would strongly recomend to see it as release
critical.
** Affects: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
