Ubuntu 10.04 + fglrx = seg fault

[PsynoKhi0]

5. wine screwed as always at least for my games -1

Which wine version are you running? Anything beyond 1.1.37 has been a mess here.

To correct this bug you must have
Option "DPMS" "true"
in your xorg.conf file (screen section)

this feels more and more like a monologue

I "feel" no increased latency during minimizing and maximizing of windows anymore:

has the backclear patch been incorporated into the official Lucid Lynx X-Server or did the driver get that far superior ?

I have an ati 5850, and Im having lag when maximizing / minimizing with the propietary drivers, are you sure?

Well, I got around to testing the latest version of Ubuntu 10.04 + fglrx installed via jockey, and the segfault issue has disappeared. However, AMD still hasn't fixed the annoying 'AMD Unsupported Hardware' watermark bug, so I was forced to work around the issue by replacing the /etc/ati/control file with the one from the 10.3_opengl4_preview release.

There still seems to be a few bugs in this release unfortunately. When using a 3D program in Wine (I haven't tested anything native yet), I get weird artifacts all over the rest of the screen (the rendered surface looks perfect). There is also an occasional kernel error that pops up that may be related to the display going to sleep. I'll try to do some bug sleuthing on this system when I get home from work, and post the results in this thread.

Here is the kernel oops that I am getting. I have yet to discover a cause.
