Why do you think I currently only put in an ATI card for optimizing my fglrx script? The card is so bad that now even in vesa mode it begins to show bad letters. And that's already the 2nd PCI-E card with RV410 that dies here... Sooner or later I run out of test cards.

First: Hello and thanks for the drivers and all the hard work, which was put in it!
But: 8.12 fails totally on my system. I updated it from 8.11 and first everything worked perfectly. But then i made a great mistake: i activated the "xinerama"-option in the control center
Until then i couldn't get any fglrx-version working anymore. I'm trying since 2 hours put i haven't had any success. Ubuntu boots normal, but when it comes a certain point the PC just freezes and i must do a hard reboot on the system. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but i don't have any success.
My GPU is a Mobility Radeon HD 2600 and I'm working with Ubuntu 8.04.1. I hope i can get this problem fixed, because the open source driver doesn't work like i want it to... (for example: my second monitor just turns off one or two seconds, when i'm working with dualhead just every now and then...)

Boot with
text
as additional option, that disables gdm. Then you can do
/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and reboot, that resets it to standard driver. If you used a script with debian packageing, use this:
dpkg --purge $(dpkg -l|cut -f3 -d' '|grep -e fglrx -e libamdxvba)
to uninstall the driver.

Compiz
I don't get it: there is absolutely no improvement with Composite (xorg 1.5, KWin 4.1.3). Google Earth still flickers like hell, and kaffeine's the same with videos. Are there any special settings in xorg.conf I should be aware of???
Radeonhd on the other hand works fine with composite, no flickering at all.

Garbled screen F10
Can anyone suggest something to help?
After running the
Catalyst 8.12 setup then
touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf then
aticonfig --initial then
reboot
I get this screen
Hitting ctrl+alt+'+' a few times gives me a zoomed version of the same corruption
Ctrl+alt+F2 gets me the VT; nothing obvious (to me) shows up in Xorg.0.log
I've got a Radeon 4650 (passive as if that mattered) and I installed . It's on the intel G45 motherboard (the G45 works well under F10 btw).

Can anyone recommend me a Nvidia card thats about the same as my HD3870 and that is fanless? I have a PowerColor HD3870 SCS3 now.
