Dave Lentz, thank you for your comments. Regarding them https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1058040/comments/38 : >"The Firestream 9250 is based on an RV770 (RadeonHD 4x00 series) chip, so it >is included in this bug report."
At this point, it is not included, as your point is in direct contradiction to AMD's own website, as noted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/1058040/comments/36 . >"I've tried to update the description to be more concise. If you're unsure, consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units"; Please stop quoting unofficial, non-AMD resources as fact. If it is not from AMD's website, or from an AMD representative, then the information you are providing is untrustworthy, and conjecture. Hence, please do not add this into the description. >"@Sean Fitzpatrick: I've marked your bug a duplicate of this one." Please do not mark it a duplicate. For more on this please see above. Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: Following the AMD decision to change to a new driver support model for Radeon™ HD 4000, HD 3000 and HD 2000 series cards as per http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy- radeon_linux.aspx , fglrx-installer installs non-working drivers. - - NOTE: All AMD cards based on R(V)6x0 and R(V)7x0 chips are affected. - This includes some FirePro/FireGL/FireStream products as well as certain - RadeonHD5x00 mobility parts which are rebadged RadeonHD4x00 parts. If - unsure, please consult - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units I suggest the addition of an fglrx-legacy package to install the AMD legacy drivers for users with older cards or patch the current code base for use with these cards.
